Dylan Moses to Return to Alabama for Senior Season After Injury-Plagued 2019
The Alabama Crimson Tide are currently preparing for the Citrus Bowl and are doing so without Dylan Moses. The linebacker has missed the entire 2019 season after suffering a knee injury before the first game.
He could have used the injury as motivation to enter the 2020 NFL Draft to ensure he gets paid as soon as possible. Moses has instead decided to return to Alabama to chase a title and focus on his education.

Moses' message was both professional and inspiring. He mentioned how he wants to be back with his teammates and not focus on his draft stock or potential money to be made in the NFL.
Recruiting is one thing but having Dylan Moses announce he was coming back for his senior year (on Instagram) is another. Was missed from a leadership and playing standpoint. Huge news for the UA staff. Not enough stars to rate how important he could be next year. pic.twitter.com/DChTpNampS

The young linebacker will provide a huge boost to the Alabama defense and will be a top 2021 draft prospect if he can stay healthy.
Returning to school allows Moses to continue his rehab and not have to worry about potentially sliding down draft boards. He appears to have his focus in the right place and will be a leader in Bama's offseason program as soon as he's cleared.
