The Crimson Tide's former starting right tackle achieved a life's dream on Thursday night.
He will join head coach Brian Callahan in trying to solidify the offensive line in front of Will Levis. Long considered one of the best offensive line prospects available heading into his final year in Tuscaloosa, Latham was the third non-quarterback selected.
For the past two years, Latham started each of UA’s games. He built on his prior connection with left guard Tyler Booker, forged at IMG Academy, and provided anchors in front of Bryce Young and then Jalen Milroe. With Latham at right tackle, Alabama won 23 times, including a Sugar Bowl over Kansas State and an SEC Championship over Georgia.

Starting every game as a sophomore, Latham allowed two sacks. Latham then shed over 20 pounds heading into last fall wanting to improve his quickness and cut down on penalties. He was deemed a consensus second-team All-American and first-team All-SEC honoree.
Latham is Alabama’s first tackle picked in the first round since Evan Neal went seventh overall to the New York Giants in 2022.
