We received official word on Friday that junior Cam Robinson and redshirt sophomore Marlon Humphrey will join ArDarius Stewart in declaring for the 2017 NFL Draft.
Both players are expected to go in the top half of the first round, so this isn’t surprising news. There had been reports that Humphrey was leaning toward staying, but this is probably the right decision for him.
Those three will be the only players leaving early, however:
UA players who could have declared but will stay include B. Scarbrough, A. Averett, D. Hand, JK Scott, T. Brown, R. Evans.

Lots of great news in there. Many were concerned about Rashaan Evans after he sent out a cryptic tweet following the Iron Bowl, but he decided to give it another go. Da’Shawn Hand reportedly said that he considered leaving but was swayed by the leap made by Jonathan Allen in his senior season. That is great to hear, hopefully Hand can follow suit.
Go on and make us proud, men.
Roll Tide.
