Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Yhonzae Pierre
Across the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2025 football roster, there are few players who came to Tuscaloosa rated higher out of high school than Yhonzae Pierre.
A former in-state prospect, Pierre came to Tuscaloosa a few years ago as a highly-touted edge rusher, but has yet to truly breakout for the Crimson Tide since.
However, could things potentially change for Pierre in 2025, a player who has a notable amount of hype surrounding him entering the fall?
A potential breakout candidate for the Crimson Tide this fall, here is a look at everything you need to know about Alabama outside linebacker Yhonzae Pierre.
Yhonzae Pierre player information
Yhonzae Pierre career stats

Yhonzae Pierre 2024 stats
The 2024 season was a breakout campaign for Pierre at Alabama, appearing in 11 games for the Crimson Tide. In those 11 games, Pierre compiled six tackles, one TFL, and two PD.
Yhonzae Pierre recruiting ranking
Prior to Alabama, Pierre was considered the nation's No. 25 overall prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings, as well as the No. 4 edge rusher nationally. A five-star prospect who committed to Alabama in April 2022, Pierre was also ranked the No. 1 overall player in the state of Alabama where he attended Eufaula High School.
Yhonzae Pierre 2025 season outlook
Likely a position of need for the Crimson Tide, a breakout season from Pierre would be massive for the 2025 version of the Crimson Tide if that were to happen.
A former five-star recruit, Pierre is one of the most talented pass rushers on Alabama's roster, but if the in-state star were to breakout, it would likely not come in a starting role. That is because Qua Russaw is cemented as the starter at wolf for the Crimson Tide, but Pierre should be among the top backup options, if not the main name.
Overall, expect a breakout season from Pierre this fall in which he likely rotates on pass rushing situations, and for the former five-star recruit to post statistical career-high's across the board.
