Before Alabama got to celebrate a fifth straight win over Auburn, the Crimson Tide took a moment to help celebrate those who got the team to this point. With it being the final home game (and regular season game), Alabama recognized the seniors on the team pregame.

Those that participated were James Burnip (P), MJ Chirgwin (WR), CJ Dippre (TE), Kaleb Fleming
(WR), Kneeland Hibbett (SN), Justin Jefferson (LB), Jah-Marien Latham (DL), Alijah May (DB), Coby McNeal(TE), Malachi Moore (DB), Graham Nicholson (PK), Robbie Ouzts (TE), Que Robinson (LB), Graham Roten (OL), Reid Schuback (PK), Nick Serpa (P), Tim Smith (DL), Adam Thorsland (TE) and Kade Wehby (LS).

Just because a player participated doesn't always mean he is out of eligibility, and just because a player did not participate does not mean that the player intends on returning to Alabama next season. This senior class has put together an overall record of 44-9 across the last four seasons and includes a group of fifth-year players who achieved a 57-9 career mark. The five-year span includes three SEC Championships and three appearances in the College Football Playoff, highlighted by the 2020 national championship.

This senior class also finished with a perfect record in Iron Bowls, capped by Saturday's 28-14 win.
