Steve Bolo Mboumoua recruiting ranking

Mboumoua also ranked as the nation’s No. 3 overall JUCO defensive lineman in this past year’s recruiting cycle, and had been an Alabama commitment dating back to December of 2023.

Prior to spending a year in junior college, Mboumoua was a member of Alabama’s 2024 recruiting class, but did not sign with the Crimson Tide that cycle.

Steve Bolo Mboumoua 2025 season outlook

Even prior to officially arriving in Tuscaloosa, Mboumoua was one of the more talked about defensive lineman across the fanbase, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why.

At 6-foot-4 and 298 pounds, Mboumoua is a junior college arrival who already has proven experience at the college level, and can win matchups in the trenches with his athleticism and power. Even in a loaded Alabama interior line group that returns the likes of Tim Keenan III, Mboumoua might just be too-good to the point where Alabama will have no choice but to play the top JUCO prospect early-and-often.

Expect the talented sophomore to make an immediate impact for the Crimson Tide this season, and for Mboumoua to end up being one of Alabama’s top interior defensive linemen, as well as among the top early contributors from this 2025 recruiting class.
