Alabama Underclassmen Declared for 2023 NFL Draft
To be eligible for the NFL Draft, players must have been out of high school for at least three years and used up all of their college eligibility. However, underclassmen and prospects who have graduated early can also request permission from the league to be draft-eligible.
Five non-seniors are part of Alabama's 2023 draft hopefuls, including Bryce Young and Will Anderson, who both graduated after their junior year. The underclassmen joining them in the draft are running back Jahmyr Gibbs, safety Brian Branch and cornerback Eli Ricks.

Alabama Seniors in the 2023 NFL Draft
Most of the NFL Draft is comprised of seniors who spent four years in college before attempting to enter the pros. This allows those who don't break out early to continue their development in hopes of closing out their collegiate careers strong.
Alabama has 10 seniors looking to make the jump to the NFL. This group is headlined by safety Jordan Battle, who is projected as a potential second-round pick. He's joined by linebacker Henry To'oTo'o, defensive lineman Byron Young, offensive tackle Tyler Steen, guard Emil Ekiyor, defensive linemen D.J. Dale, tight end Cameron Latu, safety DeMarco Hellams, linebacker Jaylen Moody and offensive lineman Kendall Randolph.
