A fourth name and third on defense for the University of Alabama football program has announced a NFL Draft decision.
Justin Eboigbe, a defensive lineman, has decided to enter the upcoming draft. The former four-star in the 2019 recruiting class shared on social media he is turning professional. A native Georgian, Eboigbe returned to school for a fifth season in 2023 after a neck/spine injury sidelined him in 2022. His decision to come back helped him tremendously increased his draft value.

Eboigbe finished in the top five on defense for total tackles (64) and had 11.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks, four quarterback hurries, and a pass breakup. He helped Alabama capture a Southeastern Conference Championship and make a return to the College Football Playoff.
His patience, which was similar to former Tide standout Phidarian Mathis, paid off for him.
Eboigbe joins Dallas Turner, JC Latham, and Chris Braswell in sharing the NFL Draft announcement.
He is headed to the Reese’s Senior Bowl, and Alabama fans are excited to watch him in the NFL.
