Alabama is set to lose both of its senior running backs from the past seasons. Four days after Roydell Williams entered his name in the transfer portal, Jase McClellan announced that he will be declaring for the NFL draft.

McClellan was a senior this past season but could have taken advantage of an extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19. Serving as the Crimson Tide’s leading back, he rushed for a team-high 890 yards while finding the end zone eight times on the ground. He also recorded 15 receptions for 137 yards. McClellan ended his time with Alabama on a high note, carrying the ball 14 times for 87 yards and a season-high two touchdowns against Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

Over his four years with Alabama, McClellan ran for 1,981 yards and 18 touchdowns while hauling in 40 receptions for 409 yards and six scores through the air. The Aledo, Texas native signed with the Crimson Tide as the No. 6 running back and No. 65 overall player in the 2020 class.

McClellan is the 12th Alabama player to declare for this year's NFL draft. Players have until Jan. 15 to declare for the draft or return to their schools. This year's NFL draft will be held in Detroit and will take place from April 25-27.
