The final domino fell on Wednesday, but it fell correctly for Alabama football.
Instead of pursuing the NFL Draft, Najee Harris has decided to return to school for his senior season and be the running back for the Crimson Tide. He’s coming off his first 1,000-yard campaign in 2019 (1,224) with 13 touchdowns and caught seven touchdown passes.

Harris will be a focal point on offense and is in position to help the Tide get back to the College Football Playoff and win a national championship.
His return puts Nick Saban with seven scholarship backs; however, he will find a way to make the numbers work for Alabama.
