Christian Harris faces a big decision.

All draft-eligible juniors have until Monday to decide whether they will turn pro.

Harris, a Louisiana native, is a junior linebacker.

He started the 2021 preseason in the Butkus Award conversation and first-round pick conversation. After a good season in 2020, Harris was inconsistent in 15 games as a junior. He finished the year strong with dominant outings against Auburn, Georgia (SEC Championship), Cincinnati, and Georgia again (CFP National Championship). Harris played his best football in Alabama’s last four games. He totaled 79 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, four quarterback pressures, three pass breakups, and two forced fumbles.
