Four chairs were spotted on the podium inside the Mal Moore facility on Friday at the University of Alabama campus. The chairs represent the student-athletes that are faced with a decision to either return to school for another year, or declare for the upcoming NFL Draft and turn pro.

With announcements starting at 10:00 a.m. CT, the individuals were Jonah Williams, Quinnen Williams, Josh Jacobs, Deionte Thompson, Anfernee Jennings and Irv Smith, Jr.

Despite the allure of Crimson Tide fans wanting all to stay, listed below is a breakdown of who chose to return and who has decided to turn professional.
