Alabama DL Justin Eboigbe accepts invitation to Reese’s Senior Bowl
Gary Cosby Jr.-USA TODAY Sports

Justin Eboigbe made the right choice to return to the University of Alabama for a fifth season.

The native Georgian came in the Crimson Tide’s 2019 recruiting class as a four-star defensive lineman.

He suffered a neck/spine injury in 2022 and missed most of the year. Eboigbe decided to come back and deliver a healthy campaign to put his team in a position to win a Southeastern Conference Championship and return to the College Football Playoff. He also wanted to ensure himself an opportunity at a good NFL Draft stock. Eboigbe accomplished both as he’s helped Alabama obtain a chance to compete for a CFP National Championship. His performances have allowed him to accept an invitation to compete at the Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. Eboigbe has 60 total tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks, four quarterback hurries, and a pass breakup. He is prepared to put on a show for Jim Nagy and others at the Senior Bowl.

He is the second Crimson Tide player, joining Will Reichard (kicker), to accepted a Senior Bowl invitation. 

Eboigbe will lead the Tide’s defensive line against Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
