Former Alabama cornerback selected on Day 2 of 2025 NFL draft
Former Alabama cornerback Trey Amos, who played the 2024 season at Ole Miss, was selected by the Washington Commanders in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft on Friday.
Amos, who played for the Crimson Tide in 2023 after beginning his college career at Louisiana, went with the No. 61 overall pick. The New Iberia, La., native was a first-team All-SEC selection and second-team All-America choice in 2024.
The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Amos played in 61 career games with the Ragin’ Cajuns, Crimson Tide and Rebels. He totaled 121 tackles, 31 pass breakups, four interceptions and two forced fumbles.
Amos’ NFL.com draft profile reads in part:
“Long press cornerback who proved he could make the jump from the Sun Belt to the SEC without a hitch. Amos can disrupt the release and plays with good short-area movement in man coverage. He can get a little lost at the top of the route and needs occasional safety nets over the top. He has twitchy feet to close and sees the action clearly from zone but can be hampered by indecisiveness, despite favorable instincts. Amos uses physicality and length to shrink the 50/50 odds in his favor. He can play in multiple coverage but is most consistent in zone. Amos needs to ramp up his run support and trust his eyes in space, but he has the goods to become a solid starting outside corner.”
