Alabama Crimson Tide

As Alabama's football season has come to a close, numerous 2026 NFL Draft hopefuls have accepted invitations to collegiate all-star games.

The Crimson Tide had seven representatives for the Panini Senior Bowl, but the organization updated the accepted invite list on Wednesday, and wide receiver Germie Bernard and linebacker Deontae Lawson were not included.

The reasons for their departures are unknown at this time, but it's likely that they are still recovering from a long season that ended two weeks ago in the Rose Bowl and they don't want to risk any injuries while preparing for the NFL Draft in April.

Bernard finished this season with 64 receptions for 862 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games. His catches mark ranked sixth in the SEC, his yardage was seventh and he had the fifth-most scores.

Lawson, a two-time captain, finished his redshirt senior campaign with a Crimson Tide-best 89 tackles, including 4.5 for loss, 1.5 sacks, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two recoveries.

While these two are no longer listed on the Senior Bowl accepted invites list, five Alabama players aim to stand out among some of college football's top talent: running back Jam Miller, tight end Josh Cuevas, center Parker Brailsford, nose tackle Tim Keenan III and Bandit defensive end LT Overton.

The Senior Bowl currently has 136 players set to attend. Texas A&M leads with seven representatives, followed by Texas Tech and Arkansas each with six. Penn State, Oregon and Iowa join the Crimson Tide with five.

Practices will take place Jan. 27-29 at Hancock Whitney Stadium, home of South Alabama in Mobile, with coverage beginning at 1 p.m. CT on NFL Network and NFL+ each day. The Senior Bowl game will be held on Jan. 31 at 1:30 p.m. on NFL Network and NFL+.
