Alabama has lost a lot of junior players over the past couple of days, from DL Quinnen Williams to OL Jonah Williams and others.
On Saturday, after DB Saivion Smith announced he was also entering the 2019 NFL Draft and forgoing his senior season, a report came out about star S Deionte Thompson’s decision.
Per Matt Zenitz of AL.com, Thompson is expected to declare for the NFL Draft as well, opening another hole in the Crimson Tide secondary:

Thompson had 79 tackles, two interceptions and four forced fumbles in 2018, finishing second on the team in tackles.
He’s a first-round talent, and should hear his name called in Round 1 in April.
