Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Jam Miller
Alabama's returning leading rusher, the Crimson Tide however will be without Miller to begin the 2025 season, as the running back recently suffered an injury that will likely result in missing time.
Looking at the overall impact of Miller when healthy however, it's clear that the veteran running back will be a big part of Alabama's success in 2025, and should be among college football's best at the position when on the field.
Here is a preview of the 2025 season for Alabama running back Jam Miller.
Jam Miller player information
Jam Miller career stats
A senior, Miller is currently entering his fourth season of college football at Alabama, and has appeared in a total of 40 games from 2022-24. Over the past three seasons, Miller has rushed for a combined 1,092 yards and 10 scores on 219 attempts, while also hauling in 21 receptions for 227 yards and two more touchdowns.
Jam Miller 2024 stats
Miller's 2024 season was likely his best yet at Alabama, appearing in all 13 games for the Crimson Tide a year ago. During his junior campaign, Miller rushed for 668 yards and seven touchdowns on 145 attempts, while also hauling in 16 receptions for 155 yards and another score.
Jam Miller recruiting ranking
Coming out of high school, Miller was considered as the nation's No. 87 overall prospect in the 2022 class, as well as the No. 6 running back nationally, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. A four-star prospect, Miller was also ranked as the No. 15 prospect in the state of Texas where he attended Tyler Legacy High School, and committed to Alabama back in Nov. 2021 by flipping from Texas.
Jam Miller 2025 season outlook
While injured to start the season, Miller will be Alabama's starter and No. 1 option at running back when back to full health.
Named to the preseason Doak Walker Award watch list, Miller is coming off a career-year, and even despite injury to start the season, could still eclipse those totals in 2025. An experienced player, Miller should make a significant impact in both the rushing and receiving game, and will also be running behind one of college football's top offensive lines, something that should benefit the senior.
A potential 1,000-yard back option, expect a strong season from Miller once again, and for the Alabama running back to potentially receive honors at seasons end such as All-SEC.

Florida football center Jake Slaughter is a USA TODAY Sports 2025 preseason All-American
USA TODAY Sports released its preseason All-America teams ahead of the 2025 campaign and included one Florida Gator among the three-team deep roster. Redshirt senior center Jake Slaughter was the lone member of the Orange and Blue to get the call, but the good news is that he made the prestigious first-team list, placing him among the best of the best offensively in college football this fall. "Slaughter is odds-on favorite to capture the Rimington Trophy as the nation's top center," Paul Myerberg notes in reference to the highly heralded Gator. The 6-foot-5-inch, 303-pound offensive lineman has already put together an impressive preseason resume, being named to the Lombardi Trophy watch list, as well as the Rimington Trophy and Outland Trophy watch lists, while also being named to the Sporting News' and ESPN's preseason All-America First Teams — not to mention a first-teamer on the coaches' All-SEC team. Jake Slaughter's 2024 stats Slaughter started all 13 games in 2024, amassing a mountain of awards, including the AP All-SEC First-Team, ESPN All-American, PFF All-American First-Team, 247Sports/CBS All-American Second-Team, CFN All-American Second-Team, Phil Steel All-American Fourth-Team and USA TODAY Sports All-SEC First-Team. He was ranked fifth nationally among centers last year with an offense grade of 81.1, while ranking seventh in the country with a run block grade of 79.0. He also led the team in PFF offense, pass-block and run-block grades, as well as the offensive line as a whole in 800 snaps played.

The Athletic predicts Florida football's SEC, regular-season outcomes ahead of 2025
College football returns this weekend with its Week 0 lineup, but the Gator Nation will have to wait until Week 1 before it gets its taste of the gridiron Gators. Ahead of the start of a much-anticipated campaign, The Athletic's Stewart Mandel cast his predictions for the SEC this fall, including Billy Napier's team. In it, he has the Orange and Blue splitting its conference games evenly at 4-4 while projecting a 7-5 finish to the regular-season schedule. "Billy Napier earned a reprieve after November upsets of LSU and Ole Miss propelled the Gators to an 8-5 finish. Lagway is bursting with talent," Mandel offers. "But those now mentioning Florida as a CFP candidate may be overreacting. All of the Gators' best performances were at home. This year they visit LSU, Miami, Texas A&M and Ole Miss." While his prediction would have Florida falling well short of a College Football Playoff berth, the fanbase could probably live with it after experiencing three straight losing seasons recently. Add another bowl victory to the pot and the Gators can finish on par with 2024 at 8-5 — not too shabby.

Tennessee enters its 2025 football season ranked No. 18 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY ranked the 10 most difficult schedules in 2025. Four opponents for Tennessee are ranked top 10 for toughest schedules: No. 17 Florida, Mississippi State, Arkansas and Syracuse. Billy Napier enters his fourth season as Florida's head coach. He guided the Gators to a 19-19 (10-14 SEC) record and two losing campaigns during his first three years. Florida is slated to play at No. 9 LSU and No. 10 Miami before its first open date in Week 5. The Gators will host No. 1 Texas and travel to No. 21 Texas A&M before their second open date on Oct. 25. Florida will face No. 4 Georgia in Jacksonville, Florida on Nov. 1 before playing consecutive road games at Kentucky and No. 15 Ole Miss. The Gators will host Tennessee after the Rebels on Nov. 22. Sam Pittman enters his sixth season as Arkansas' head coach. From 2020-24, he compiled a 30-31 (14-28 SEC) record, three bowl wins and two losing seasons with the Razorbacks. Arkansas will play at Tennessee on Oct. 11, and has an open date one week prior on Oct. 4. The Razorbacks will face Arkansas State and head coach Butch Jones in a neutral-site matchup in Little Rock, Arkansas, play at Ole Miss and Memphis, while hosting No. 5 Notre Dame before playing the Vols. More: Tennessee football projected for top 35 offense in 2025 More: 2025 win-loss record projections for all 16 SEC football teams Two opponents for Tennessee who were not ranked by Myerberg, but are top 10 for strength of schedule in ESPN's Football Power Index, are Oklahoma (No. 2) and Kentucky (No. 7). Tennessee will host the unranked Sooners on Nov. 1 before a final open date on Nov. 8. Oklahoma will also have its second and final open date after playing at Neyland Stadium in Week 11.

More: Tennessee football receiving yard leaders each season since 2000 Kentucky is 67–73 (28–62 SEC) under 13th-year head coach Mark Stoops. He has a 77–73 record on the field. Stoops guided Kentucky to two 10-win seasons on the field (2018, 2021) and five losing campaigns during his tenure. The Wildcats are slated to host Ole Miss and Texas, while playing at South Carolina and Georgia, before their home game versus Tennessee on Oct. 25. Strength of schedule, when open dates occur and prior coaching history could allow for Tennessee to face up to four interim head coaches during the regular season in SEC play.
