Alabama Crimson Tide safety Eddie Jackson will forgo the NFL draft and return for his senior season, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
Jackson, an All-SEC first-team selection by conference coaches, led the Crimson Tide with six interceptions, including one against Clemson in the College Football Playoff National Championship.
The former four-star prospect from Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, had eight total passes defended and 46 total tackles this season. He began his career as a cornerback but shifted to safety this past season.
Jackson was one of ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.'s top five underclassmen safeties entering the 2015 season.
