Alabama DE Jonathan Allen returning for senior season

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama defensive end Jonathan "Alabama does" Allen is returning to Alabama for his senior season.

Allen, who finished with a team-best 12.5 sacks during the Tide's national championship run, is the latest junior to turn down a paycheck in the NFL for another shot at a title ring in T-town. Alabama juniors Tim Williams, Ryan Anderson and Eddie Jackson announced earlier this week that they were returning to school next year.

On Friday, Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry and defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson announced their intentions to enter the 2016 NFL Draft.
