Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Germie Bernard

Coming to Tuscaloosa last offseason, there were few Alabama Crimson Tide transfer additions more impactful than wide receiver Germie Bernard.

Now entering year two at Alabama as well, Bernard is once again expected to play a significant role for the Crimson Tide this fall, and could be among the more productive wide receivers in the entire SEC when all is said and done.

Germie Bernard 2025 season outlook

Bernard was one of Alabama’s top wide receivers during his debut season in Tuscaloosa, and even despite a loaded position room, that will remain the same in 2025.

Now a senior, Bernard is back in the Kalen DeBoer system this fall for the third consecutive year, one that also adds his former offensive coordinator at Washington this fall, Ryan Grubb. Because of this, Bernard is likely set for a big season yet again, and could very even surpass his receiving totals from a year ago that were career-high’s.

Don’t be surprised if Bernard receives some individual honors at seasons end also, as well as potentially flirting with a 1,000-yard season.
