Alabama’s steady scout-team DB with depth-chart upside
In the 2025 season, Peyton Yates was a senior defensive back for Alabama listed at 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, and he logged limited game action while drawing repeated praise from the coaching staff for scout-team work and preparation. His edge is reliability: he has stayed in the program, earned weekly internal recognition, and fits as a grinder who helps push the starters every day. If you value toughness, buy-in, and special-teams/depth versatility over flashy production, he’s the kind of glue guy every contender wants.
