Booker, a 6-foot-5, 325-pound guard from New Haven, Connecticut, has been a staple for the Crimson Tide's offensive line over the last two seasons, starting every game but one in 2023 and every game for Alabama in 2024.

In his letter to Alabama, Booker thanked Coach Nick Saban, Coach Kalen DeBoer, and the staff from both programs during his time at Alabama.

"I have called Tuscalosoa home for the past three years and it will be home for the rest of my life," Booker wrote. "I am forever grateful for the community welcoming me with open arms and supporting me through these ups and downs."

"With that being said," he wrote, "I will be declaring for the 2025 NFL draft."

Tyler Booker was one of the best players on the Crimson Tide in 2024. In his 12 starts this season, he totaled 93 knockdown blocks and averaged 7.5 knockdown blocks per game.

Booker did not allow a single sack this season in 176 pass blocking snaps according to Pro Football Focus.

Booker is viewed as a likely first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft and could be the first Alabama player off the board. He is currently rated as the No. 56 overall prospect in the 2025 NFL draft according to ESPN's big board of players, and the No. 1 offensive guard in the draft.
