When star Alabama OL Alex Leatherwood announced he was returning for the 2020 season, it made Crimson Tide fans understandably excited.
Now, Alabama supporters are waiting to see who else will come back, and, on Saturday, fellow OL Jedrick Wills Jr. made his decision.
However, unlike Leatherwood, Wills will forgo his final season and enter the 2020 NFL Draft, he announced via Twitter:

Wills is projected to go in Round 1 of many mock drafts and is even getting some top-10 buzz.
That’s a big hit to the Alabama offensive line for next season, but if Wills is indeed a first-round player, that’s a lot of money to pass up. We’ll see what happens with his stock as we approach April’s draft.
