TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama offensive tackle JC Latham said he plans to enter the NFL draft.
Latham, a two-year starter at right tackle, announced his decision Wednesday in a post on Instagram. He was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference pick this season as a junior and earned second-team Associated Press All-America honors.
ESPN NFL draft insider Mel Kiper ranks Latham as the No. 20 overall prospect and No. 4 offensive lineman.
"I will always be thankful to coach [Nick] Saban and his staff for their commitment to developing me into the best version of myself both on and off the field," Latham said.
