Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell loves IHOP, and the eatery has returned the favor.

The sophomore linebacker has inked an NIL deal with pancake-centric restaurant. Campbell is one of three SEC players and seven college football stars to promote a new “Fan Cakes” video series, where the athletes sample and select their favorite pancake orders.

Campbell declares the Cinn-A-Stack Pancakes his favorite. The plate is not for the faint of heart. It includes four pancakes layered with cinnamon roll filling and topped with cream-cheese icing.

A week after a breakout performance versus rival Tennessee – where he recorded 10 tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown, earning himself SEC Defensive Player of the Week and Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week – Alabama sophomore linebacker Jihaad Campbell adds another line item to his growing resume; International House of Pancakes endorser.

The SEC players involved are Florida’s Roderick Kearney and Texas A&M’s Kam Dewberry. All three selected the Cinn-A-Stack as their favorite.

Other players include:

• Ephesians Prysock, University of Arizona, Cinn-A-Stack,
• Drew Kendall, Boston College, Mexican Tres Leches
• Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, University of Colorado, Strawberry BananaProtein Pancake
• Devin Mockobee, Purdue University, Chocolate Chocolate ChipPancake
• Landen Hatchett, University of Washington, Cinn-A-Stack

Jihaad Campbell returned a fumble for a score in the fourth quarter to help propel Alabama last month to 27 unanswered second-half points in rallying for a 34-20 victory over Tennessee.
