Eleven football players from Alabama are eligible for the 2025 NFL Draft, and the entry date has passed. This is a preview of their draft stock.
Alabama football’s hard deadline for early admission into the 2025 NFL Draft has passed. We now know which Crimson Tide players are eligible for this year’s draft, but there is still a small window for Ohio State and Notre Dame players following the national championship.
Eleven players from Alabama, three of whom might be selected in the first round, will be expecting to hear their names called in late April. After the NFL Combine and/or Alabama’s Pro Day, the others will be hoping to increase their draft stock in the Senior Bowl or other All-Star activities.
et’s look at the draft stock of each of Alabama’s NFL Draft hopefuls. The 2025 NFL Draft will take place in Green Bay, Wisconsin over three days, from April 25 to the 27th. Alabama football’s 2025 NFL Draft Stock QB Jalen Milroe No player in this year’s draft class has a wider range of potential draft positioning than Alabama QB Jalen Milroe, the divisive Crimson Tide signal-caller who has been mocked as high as No. 2 overall to the Cleveland Browns and as low as the second and third rounds.
n a few weeks, Milroe will play in the Senior Bowl, and a strong showing there could help him secure a spot in the first round come the end of April. Pro Day, the NFL Combine, and his team interviews will all be equally significant.
No player in the whole draft class had a greater variance on tape. He has excellent footage, such as the game versus Georgia this season. His performance versus Oklahoma is as terrible as it gets.
Milroe’s athletic prowess should put him somewhere in the first round, but the upcoming pre-draft preparation will be crucial, in my opinion.
Top 5 is the best case; the third round is the worst.
OG Booker, Tyler
After everything is said and done, I think Tyler Booker will rank as this class’ top interior offensive lineman. In addition to being a good pass protector, he is a road grader in the run game. You want an offensive guard with that streak of nastiness.
Even if Booker is the top guard in the draft, he may still be selected in the second round because guards are generally undervalued. He could also very easily be selected in the first round. It’s hard to see him falling out of the second round with his physical tools and tape.
Best Case: Top 20 Worst Case: 2nd Round
Jihaad Campbell, LB
Although Campbell is definitely a Top 25 overall talent in this draft class, linebackers, like interior linemen, are usually underestimated in the NFL Draft, and he may end up in the second round.
According to ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., Campbell is presently ranked as the No. 2 off-ball LB in the 2025 draft after having a tremendous season with the Crimson Tide.
When you watch Campbell on tape, it’s simple to make the comparison that he will be as excellent as Micah Parsons. In the same way that the Cowboys have weaponized Parsons, a savvy NFL team will attempt to use Campbell.
Ideal Situation: First Round
Worst Situation: Second Round
DB Moore, Malachi
During the selection process, Malachi Moore’s greatest strength will likely be his versatility. He is capable of playing both safety and slot cornerback. He started for Alabama for five years and served as team captain twice.
One of Moore’s shortcomings is that he lacks the top speed you look for in a defensive back. He plays football, though. Although he received an invitation to the Senior Bowl, it is unclear if he will be able to participate. Moore had surgery and missed Alabama’s loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
In an attempt to raise his draft standing, Moore will be heavily involved in the Senior Bowl and the combine. He is currently most likely a late day-two or early day-three selection.
Best Situation: Late Second Round
Worst Situation: Fourth Round
TE CJ Dippre
After transferring from Maryland, CJ Dippre spent two seasons with the Crimson Tide, but he was not used much in Alabama’s system. In his final season in Tuscaloosa, he caught 21 passes for 256 yards, although his receiving footage isn’t very strong.
Currently, Dippre is a difficult project. The tight end class isn’t very deep, but he will have to compete with a number of players to be considered in the late round and stay out of the draft.
Worst Case: UDFA; Best Case: Fifth Round
Que Robinson, LB
Que Robinson suffered a season-ending injury in Alabama’s triumph in Baton Rouge over LSU. He was the Crimson Tide’s best pass rusher in 2024 as a senior finishing with four sacks. His durability will be questioned because he suffered numerous injuries during his time in Tuscaloosa.
He has demonstrated promise as a speed rusher and has some bend. He has an opportunity to go to the latter stages if he can demonstrate his health and, ideally, take part in the East/West Shrine Bowl to which he has been invited.
Ideally, the sixth or seventh round
Worse Situation: UDFA
Tim Smith, DT
Tim Smith, who played for Alabama for five years, was a regular member of the Crimson Tide’s defensive line each season, much like Malachi Moore. Although he didn’t show up on tape like some of Alabama’s previous defensive tackle prospects and was never very productive, his run-stopping skills could make him a late-round pick.

He finished with two sacks and possesses some pass rush abilities as well.
He concluded 2024 with two sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss, and he also possesses some pass rush abilities.
Best Case: Pick in the Sixth or Seventh Round
The worst scenario is UDFA.
TE Ouzts, Robbie
Robbie Ouzts of Alabama is among the best tight ends available if you’re seeking for someone who can block. Although he had 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 2024, he was most useful as a run blocker, often creating gaps in the Tide’s running attack.
It will be challenging for him to make an impression on an NFL team because he is somewhat small for the job he plays. In the NFL, blocking tight ends are typically men about the size of offensive tackles.
He has demonstrated promise as a speed rusher and has some bend. He has an opportunity to go to the latter stages if he can demonstrate his health and, ideally, take part in the East/West Shrine Bowl to which he has been invited.

He finished with two sacks and possesses some pass rush abilities as well.
Worst Case: UDFA; Best Case: 7th Round
Burnip, P. James
Burnip, who started punting for Alabama for four years, improved significantly following a difficult rookie campaign in which he averaged less than 40 yards per punt. Best Case for Burnip: 7th Round
The worst scenario is UDFA.
K. Nicholson, Graham
Graham Nicholson transferred to Alabama for his senior year after winning the Groza Award at Miami (OH) in 2023. Despite having little opportunities with the Crimson Tide, he connected on 27-28 kicks during his junior year with the Redhawks.
He has demonstrated promise as a speed rusher and has some bend. He has an opportunity to go to the latter stages if he can demonstrate his health and, ideally, take part in the East/West Shrine Bowl to which he has been invited.

He finished with two sacks and possesses some pass rush abilities as well.
At Alabama, Nicholson made just ten field goals and made eight of them. All 53 of his attempts at extra points were successful. Although Nicholson is not currently listed in Kiper’s Top 10 specialists, he may advance during the pre-draft phase.
Ideal Situation: UDFA
Worse Situation: UDFA
LS Hibbett Kneeland
Hibbett received a scholarship before the 2024 season and spent the previous four seasons as Alabama’s long snapper. Though long snappers are rarely chosen, there were very few setbacks during his tenure.
UDFA is the worst case scenario.
As a junior, Home/Alabama Football had nearly 47 yards per punt; as a senior, it was 45.4.
He has demonstrated promise as a speed rusher and has some bend. He has an opportunity to go to the latter stages if he can demonstrate his health and, ideally, take part in the East/West Shrine Bowl to which he has been invited.

He finished with two sacks and possesses some pass rush abilities as well.
Mel Kiper Jr. currently ranks Burnip as the No. 3 punter and No. 5 specialist in the 2025 class, and he will punt at the senior bowl. Although Burnip is unlikely to be drafted, he will have the chance to secure a position at Training Camp.
7th Round is the best case; UDFA is the worst.

Best Case: UDFA Worse Case: UDFA LS Kneeland Hibbett Hibbett was Alabama’s long snapper the last four years and earned a scholarship prior to the 2024 season. There were rarely any hiccups during his time, but long snappers rarely get selected. Best Case: UDFA Worst Case: UDFA Home/Alabama Football
