Alabama DL Justin Eboigbe accepts invite to play in 2024 Senior Bowl
Alabama redshirt senior defensive lineman Justin Eboigbe has accepted an invitation to play in the 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl in early February, the game announced on Thursday.
Eboigbe is the second Crimson Tide player to accept an invite to play in the upcoming all-star game for seniors, which will take place inside Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile, Ala. On Saturday, placekicker Will Reichard became the first UA player to accept an invitation.
Eboigbe was a senior last season but saw Year 4 in Tuscaloosa cut short due to a neck injury. Returning to the field in the spring, the Forest Park, Ga., native has been Alabama’s best defensive lineman this fall, registering 60 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks.
Eboigbe was one of the 10 Alabama players who were selected to the Senior Bowl’s preseason watch list that also included Trey Amos, Chris Braswell, Jermaine Burton, Trezmen Marshall, Jase McClellan, Seth McLaughlin, Malachi Moore, Tim Smith and Roydell Williams.
