Had a chat with JK Scott in the locker room (open to media in playoff) after the game and asked if he would be back next year. He said yes: God has a plan for him in Tuscaloosa and he's not going pro.
Now punters hardly ever (maybe even never) opt out early for the draft, but he's good enough to consider it.
And for those who might surmise otherwise, that's not all we talked about. Just asked him as an afterthought.
Really like that kid, very down to earth. You could tell he was VERY excited to be playing for another national title, and to have played a big part in the field position battle against Washington.
