In the era of draft opt-outs and transfer portal departures, the Alabama Crimson Tide have established a culture that still cares about non-playoff bowl games. Despite having an abundance of NFL hopefuls, the Tide have retained almost all of their starters for the matchup against Michigan.
Here are some notable players to watch for.
QB Jalen Milroe
Milroe is a true dual-threat who has amassed 2,652 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, while rushing for 719 yards and an incredible 20 touchdowns. He figures to be in the mix atop the 2025 quarterback draft prospects, but he needs to develop his passing game to get there.
