Four Alabama players are skipping their final seasons to enter the NFL draft, including All-America left tackle Jonah Williams and Outland Trophy-winning defensive lineman Quinnen Williams.

Those projected first-rounders announced their intentions on Friday, along with versatile tailback Josh Jacobs and tight end Irv Smith Jr.

Jonah Williams and Quinnen Williams are unanimous All-Americans rated as potential Top 10 picks. They helped lead the Crimson Tide to the national championship game.

The exodus of underclassmen has become an annual rite for the talent-rich Tide.

Jonah Williams won the Southeastern Conference’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy. He started every game of his Tide career, the first at right tackle and the past two on the left side.

“These guys have always been exemplary in all the things they’ve done to help themselves, which is what has created the opportunity for them,” Saban said.

Alabama has other standout players who haven’t announced their plans yet. That group includes safety Deionte Thompson, a projected first-round pick, and linebacker Mack Wilson.

Defensive lineman Raekwon Davis and cornerback Trevon Diggs have already announced they’re staying put.
