Mother of Alabama LB announces he'll be back for 2020 season

There are several different ways in which players make their decisions public about going to the NFL Draft or staying in school.

In the instance of Tua Tagovailoa, you have a press conference the entire college football world is glued to. In the case of Alabama LB Joshua McMillon, your mother posts it on Facebook.

The 2020 season will be McMillon’s sixth year at Alabama, where he redshirted his freshman season in 2015, and then missed the 2019 season due to a knee injury suffered before the season opener against Duke.

The mother of Alabama LB Joshua McMillon posted to Facebook this afternoon that her son will return in 2020.

This is a big boost for an Alabama defensive unit that lost not just McMillon, but also middle linebacker Dylan Moses for the 2019 season before it even started.

Moses already announced his intentions to return for 2020, and now McMillon will join him. McMillon has only racked up 19 total tackles in 2 seasons of action, but has a chance to put a cap on his college career in what will certainly be his last year of eligibility.
