Alabama linebacker Dallas Turner is set to forego his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL draft, he said after Monday’s Rose Bowl loss to Michigan.

Turner, a third-year junior, was a first-team All-American and SEC Defensive Player of the Year this season. He totaled 52 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks for the Crimson Tide, whose season ended at 12-2.

“I’m gone,” Turner told Alex Scarborough of ESPN.com. “Ain’t no if, ands or buts about it.”

Turner, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native, took over as Alabama’s primary edge rusher this season following the departure of Will Anderson, who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 draft. Turner is widely projected as a first-round pick in the 2024 draft, which takes place in late April.
