For some time, the conventional wisdom has been that Alabama running back Najee Harris would forego his senior season and enter the NFL Draft. That line of thinking only grew after his strong performance in the second half of the season and in the Citrus Bowl against Michigan.
With a nod to Lee Corso, the feeling now is “not so fast my friend”. There has been talk that Harris might actually return for his senior season. Today, Chris Breece, Sports Director with CBS 42 in Birgmingham Tweeted that he’s been told that Harris does indeed plan to return.
Lots of speculation on RB Najee Harris. I’m told Najee has informed the coaching staff that he is returning for a senior season at #Alabama #RollTide
