Eboigbe played in just the first 4 games of Alabama’s 2022 season. Nick Saban shared in October that Eboigbe had a procedure to address a neck injury.
The 2023 season marks Eboigbe’s 5th season in Tuscaloosa. He is considered a redshirt senior. The Forest Park (Georgia) product could potentially return for a 6th season in 2024 using the NCAA’s COVID-19 waiver for the 2020 season.
Over 4 seasons, Eboigbe has played in 42 games for the Crimson Tide, recording 59 tackles, including 4.5 for loss and 2 sacks. Eboigbe was on track for the most productive season of his career in 2022, logging 11 tackles in 4 games. He recorded 19 tackles in the 2020 and ’21 seasons.
Alabama’s A-Day spring game is set for April 22.
