He broke his collarbone on the 2nd play of the UA All-American Game.

Guy was a monster two years ago. He really needs a healthy return to form next year.

Yep. He was really banged up this year. He and Proctor both. The line should be very good in 2025.

Have we heard anything from Jah Marien Latham or Bernard ? I assume that both are returning.

I think Latham is returning, but nothing from Benard as of today. I think Bernard returns to up his draft stock.

I also assume that Bernard is returning. I didn’t know that Latham had eligibility left.

I was listening to a Bama podcast this morning and the hosts said Latham was returning. So take that for what it's worth. LOL!

I didn't think he did. He was a RS Senior this year.

ETA: Nvm, I guess he still has the COVID year. NYT and Rivals say he has another year.

Yep, 2020 didn't count for anyone.

Redshirted 2021.

Played 2022, 2023, 2024. So one more year left.

On the one hand, it's great to have so many guys come back, but on the other, it's a sign that most of them are not getting 1st or 2nd round grades. Reflects on the type of season we just had. That said, they ain't bums.

I would almost bet on us not having a 1st round pick this year. That is mostly a factor of our QB being a no growth, low skill, all combine prospect; linebacker being a low draft value position in the NFL; and guard being a low draft value position in the NFL. The amount of returning talent is just a sign of the times. You're going to keep people when 3rd round or worse draft grades these days if they still have eligibility. The money is usually right enough that these kinds of players can make the math work for another year of development.

Campbell & Booker both have a chance to be first rounders. It wouldn't shock me either way.

I agree...just hard to figure top OGs and LBs who aren't pure edge players. Sometimes the quality of the draft pool lets these guys get into the 1st round. Sometimes a team simply wanted to make sure another team with an early 2nd round pick can't grab them before their 2nd round pick. My guess is Booker has the better shot of being a 1st rounder because guards do go there a bit more often than non-edge rusher LBs these days. However, I think Campbell is going to be a great linebacker in the modern NFL.

I was expecting Panini America to be much more focused on warm, delicious sandwiches. Maybe another panini avenue for Keelon to explore?
