The NFL's Seattle Seahawks have officially signed 2025 NFL Draft selection and former Alabama player Robbie Ouzts to his four-year rookie contract.

Ouzts was chosen in the fifth round with the 175th overall pick, reuniting with quarterback Jalen Milroe. Milroe has yet to officially sign with Seattle.

The former Crimson Tide tight end will be converted to a fullback with the Seahawks. Many saw the position change as a natural fit at the next level for Ouzts.

Former Alabama baseball pitcher Garrett McMillan, a Tuscaloosa native, was recently promoted to Double-A within the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system. His early outings have resulted in him becoming one of the best arms by ERA among the club's prospects this season.

Fellow former Crimson Tide pitcher Dylan Smith, who is in the Detroit Tigers organization, has been making waves with his numbers as well. He was an impact player on Alabama's 2021 NCAA Tournament team.

5 bullpen guys who have a K% >= 30% and a HR/9 of 0.00 in Erie right now. They are crushing it.

Dylan Smith has really been insane. 2.00 ERA, 2.00 FIP, 34.3% K%, 18 IP in relief this year! https://t.co/bUONA36Wns
