A 247 Sports story quoting sources states that Deontae Lawson is anticipated to return to Alabama and forego the NFL Draft.
The native of Mobile, Lawson started ten games (she was injured during the games against Mississippi State, Kentucky, and Chattanooga) and racked up 67 tackles to rank second on the team in stops. In the Rose Bowl match, which ended in an overtime loss to Michigan, he recorded six tackles and two pass deflections.
The Butkus Award semifinalist was injured in the ankle during a 42-38 victory over LSU earlier in the season.
In the SEC Championship Game, Alabama defeated then-No. 1 Georgia, and Lawson added four tackles.
“I believe we have already made our point,” Lawson remarked following the match. That is the top team in the nation. They recently lost their 29-game winning streak to us. That sums up our position perfectly.In Tuscaloosa, the day has been hectic. Clifford Story, Kristian’s father, confirmed to AL.com that his son is moving out of Tuscaloosa. Following the Rose Bowl loss to Michigan, Story was the tenth player from UA to log onto the site. Seth McLaughlin, the starting center, intends to visit the portal too.
