The NCAA announced a new rule allowing teams to attempt an uncontested three‑point field goal after a fair catch, adding a novel tactical layer to the sport beginning in 2026.

Forty‑five former Alabama players appear on the 2027 Hall of Fame ballot, joining a total of 99 candidates. The selection hinges on All‑American honors, a ten‑year waiting period and a multi‑stage voting process that ultimately involves more than 12,000 members of the National Football Foundation.
