UA announces trio of players joining Nick Saban for 2018 SEC Media Days

The unofficial kickoff to the college football season starts next week, as the slate for Southeastern Conference media days in Atlanta is ready. According to a press release from the league on Wednesday, the University of Alabama selected its three student-athletes that will accompany head coach Nick Saban on Wednesday afternoon inside the Omni Hotel.

Damien Harris, senior running back, is coming off two straight 1,000-yard seasons and anticipates the possibility of having a third one. He totaled 11 rushing touchdowns in 2017, while averaging 7.41 yards per carry. Instead of pursuing the National Football League Draft, the Kentucky native decided to return for his senior year to provide the Tide with leadership.
