“It means everything to represent Alabama at the next level. I’ve been preparing for this moment since I stepped on campus,” Booker said. “Coach Saban and Coach DeBoer prepared me like a pro. Now it’s time to go to work.”

Booker was not just drafted—he was celebrated. Behind the scenes, cameras captured Alabama teammates FaceTiming him, hyping him up, and showing the unmatched brotherhood that defines the Crimson Tide.

JIHAAD CAMPBELL: A STAR FOR PHILLY’S DEFENSE
