In his first career NFL game, former Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell already has his first NFL forced turnover. He teamed up with his former Crimson Tide teammate Byron Young to get the forced fumble late in the third quarter of the Philadelphia Eagles' 24-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys to kickoff the 2025-26 NFL season.

Campbell was selected by the Eagles in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft with the 31st overall pick. He finished the game with three tackles.

Young is now in his second season with the Eagles and third season in the NFL. Campbell and Young were both on the 2022 Crimson Tide team when Campbell was a true freshman and Young was a senior.

Here's the Roll Call for Friday, September 5, 2025

Friday's Crimson Tide Schedule:

Volleyball at Chattanooga, 5 p.m. CT, ESPN+

Thursday's Crimson Tide Results:

Soccer: No. 23 North Carolina 4, Alabama 0- "We ran into a good team tonight and they showed us why they are the defending national champions. I was pleased with the start of the game, but as the half wore on, they got into a rhythm and we conceded too much territory and possession. At half, we made an adjustment to commit another player higher, which kind of left us a bit more exposed. We will learn from this and get ready to take on another very good opponent on Sunday.” - Head coach Wes Hart in a press release
