A pair of SEC stars announced today that they would be heading to the National Football League and its draft this spring. But another big name player let it be known that he’d be back on SEC fields next fall.
Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron released a statement through the university making it clear that he’ll return to Tuscaloosa for his senior year:
“I had many goals for myself when I came to the University of Alabama. I have been lucky enough to achieve some of those goals, but some are still ahead of me. There were many factors in my decision to return to Alabama for my senior year but, after talking with my family and coaches, I knew it was the right choice for me.”
McCarron has led the Crimson Tide to back-to-back BCS Championship Games and will try to win his second title next month against Notre Dame. He led the SEC in passer rating this past season.
