Alabama fans, buckle up as American college footballer is returning for the 2025 season, and defensive coordinators across the SEC just collectively groaned. Reports confirm the star receiver is staying put, which means the Crimson Tide’s offense is about to be an absolute nightmare (again).
Bernard’s path to Tuscaloosa reads like the plot of a sports drama. He kicked things off at Michigan State in 2022, then made waves at Washington in 2023, helping the Huskies storm their way to the national championship game. And he didn’t just ride the wave – he *made* waves. Despite sharing turf with NFL-bound receivers like Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillan, Bernard snagged 34 catches for 419 yards and two touchdowns. You know you’re good when you shine *in that crowd.*
Fast forward to Alabama, where Bernard wasted no time establishing himself as the guy. Fifty catches, 794 yards, and two touchdowns later, he was leading the team in receptions and giving secondaries fits. If you’re wondering who finished ahead of him in yards – it’s Ryan Williams. And together, these two form a duo that’s about to ruin Saturdays for a lot of cornerbacks.
But here’s the kicker – Jalen Milroe is NFL-bound, and Alabama needs a new gunslinger under center. The good news? Whoever steps up will have Bernard and Williams at their disposal. It’s like handing the keys to a Ferrari and saying, “Try not to crash.”
Bernard isn’t just returning – he’s coming back with bad intentions. His chemistry with Williams, mixed with his experience in big games, makes Alabama’s offense less of a passing attack and more of a full-blown aerial assault. Defensive backs are going to need therapy.
In short, the Germie Bernard experience is far from over. The SEC isn’t ready – but Bernard sure is.
