Sources: Tide's Jackson to return for senior year
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.
