Several Alabama seniors say farewell to the program on Twitter
Alabama’s senior class has had a fantastic four years in Tuscaloosa, winning two national championships and appearing in three-straight College Football Playoff tournaments.
As they prepare to head off to the professional ranks following Monday night’s emotional loss to Clemson in the national title game, many outgoing seniors, including Eddie Jackson and Jonathan Allen, took to Twitter to thank the Crimson Tide fans and program for a great college experience:
I just want to thank all the fans and the University of Alabama I couldn't have ask for a better four years I will forever bleed crimson❗

Messages from other senior players are sure to trickle in over the next couple of days, but for now, Monday night’s loss may still sting too much.
No matter how you slice it, though, Alabama’s outgoing seniors had a heck of a career and will be remembered for years to come.
