A former five-star recruit, Overton played for the Texas A&amp;M Aggies in 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n<p>With the selections of Proctor and Overton, it will mark a decade-long streak of multiple first-round picks for the Alabama Crimson Tide. 2016 is the last time Alabama did not have multiple first-round selections, with center Ryan Kelly being the lone draftee in the first 32 picks. The 2008 NFL Draft was the last time Alabama did not have a first-round pick, which occurred on the heels of Nick Saban&#8217;s second year with the program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/twin-sister-alabama-5-star-063127596.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Twin Sister of Alabama 5-Star QB Keelon Russell Passes Away;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: Twin Sister of Alabama 5-Star QB Keelon Russell Passes Away<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This story was originally reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/college\/alabama-crimson-tide\/alabama-crimson-tide-projected-to-have-multiple-first-round-picks-in-2026-nfl-draft\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Athlon Sports;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Athlon Sports<\/a> on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alabama Projected to Have Multiple First Round Picks in 2026 NFL Draft originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
