Nikhai Hill-Green: “Football’s shown me to keep working,” | 2025 w/ Alabama, Adversity, Prep & more!

After declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft, former Alabama linebacker Nikhai Hill-Green joined the Call The Huddle podcast to talk his career so far as he gets ready for the next level. Following four consecutive seasons between four different programs, Hill-Green has proven himself as a competitor with an all around linebacker skillset. Through his lone year with the Crimson Tide, Hill-Green contributed to Alabama's defense allowing less than 20 points per game in 2025. The 6-foot-2, 235 pound talent from Pittsburgh, PA put up 60 total tackles along with five tackles for loss in 2025, and forced constant havoc at every level.
