Alabama RB Damien Harris to forgo NFL Draft, will return for his senior season

Depending on whether safety Ronnie Harrison appears at the podium inside the Mal Moore facility or not, some of the University of Alabama’s draft-eligible juniors will announce their professional careers plans at 1:00 p.m. CT today.

Wide receiver Calvin Ridley, running back Bo Scarbrough, defensive lineman Da’Ron Payne and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick are all declaring.

Fans of Crimson Tide football and the school’s coaching staff did receive great news on Wednesday, as junior Damien Harris decided to return for his senior season. While AL.com was the first outlet to report the situation, Harris wants to prove his value in the fall – especially after being considered second-fiddle behind Scarbrough during the 2016 season and this campaign.
