The Los Angeles Chargers have bolstered their defensive lineup with the signing of rookie defensive lineman Justin Eboigbe, the 105th overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft.
Eboigbe brings a wealth of experience from his collegiate career at Alabama, where he played a pivotal role in the Crimson Tide’s formidable defense.
During his five seasons at Alabama, Eboigbe showcased his versatility and impact on the field, appearing in 56 games. His contributions were instrumental in Alabama’s successes, including two appearances in the College Football Playoff National Championship games, culminating in a championship victory in 2020 with a perfect 13-0 season record.
Eboigbe’s final season at Alabama was particularly standout, despite overcoming an injury setback. He earned first-team All Southeastern Conference honors after amassing impressive statistics: 63 tackles, including 29 solo tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks, and a pass breakup.
His signing marks a significant addition to the Chargers’ defense, enhancing their depth and capability upfront. Eboigbe also continues a strong tradition between Alabama and the Chargers, becoming the 10th Crimson Tide player drafted by Los Angeles, and the first since 2013.
With training camp approaching, Eboigbe’s arrival is anticipated to bring immediate impact and excitement to the Chargers as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
