Christian Harris, a semifinalist for the Butkus and Lombardi awards, will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft.

Harris is listed as the third-best inside linebacker in the draft.

Harris had over seventy tackles this season, of which over twenty were for a loss. He also had two forced turnovers.

Henry To'oTo'o, Alabama's leader in tackles, said last week that he would return for his senior season, despite Harris not returning.

Jordan Battle will also return.

Cornerback Jaylin Armour-Davis, offensive tackle Evan Neal, defensive lineman Phidarian Mathis, running back Brian Robinson Jr., and receiver John Metchie III are all turning pro.

Alabama has lost several players to the transfer portal, including a reserve linebacker, a backup quarterback, and a tight end.

Eli Ricks, a former LSU All-America defensive back, and former Georgia Tech All-ACC running back, were added to the Alabama roster.
