  01/04/23 - RB *Jahmyr GibbsJr/2023, Alabama

  The term "one-and-done" has long been part of college basketball lingo, but it has taken on a different meaning for modern college football. The loosening of the NCAA's transfer portal rules last year made it easier for underclassmen to transfer and play immediately, then enter the NFL draft after one successful season. That was the case when Jameson Williams transferred to Alabama for the 2021 season after two years mostly in the background at Ohio State. Williams flourished in his starting role for the Tide and became a first-round pick in last April's NFL draft, beginning a trend that should continue this year.

Running back Jahmyr Gibbs declared Monday for the 2023 NFL draft after one season at Alabama. The junior's decision came a little more than a year after he transferred from Georgia Tech, where he was a key piece of the Yellow Jackets' offense but felt his skills could be better showcased in Tuscaloosa. Williams was picked No. 12 overall in last year's draft despite an ACL injury, and Gibbs said Monday he has heard feedback placing him in the No. 20-25 overall range of this spring's draft. The decision was not as obvious as the two others announced by Alabama juniors Monday - by quarterback Bryce Young and outside linebacker Will Anderson - but expectations still leaned heavily in favor of Gibbs entering the draft early, with two years of eligibility remaining. "I kind of knew for a little bit," he said. "If we had that sort of year we wanted, then, yeah." - Birmingham News
