Bernard, who spent 2022 at Michigan State and 2023 at Washington before following coach Kalen DeBoer to Alabama in 2024, reeled in 63 catches for 862 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025. Bernard completes his collegiate career with 155 receptions for 2,203 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Bernard is the third Alabama player to be taken in the 2026 NFL Draft, joining offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor (No. 12 to Dolphins) and quarterback Ty Simpson (No. 13 overall to 49ers).
