TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama football’s Parker Brailsford, Kadyn Proctor and Jaeden Roberts were named to the 2025 Outland Trophy Watch List, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) announced Tuesday.

The three returning linemen are among 50 candidates named to the preseason list for the Outland Trophy, named in honor of All-America offensive line John Outland of Penn.
