Terry Grant's once-promising college football career is over.The running back from Lumberton, Miss., has decided not to come back for a fifth year of eligibility, as has receiver Travis Sikes.
"He's been injured two years in a row," Alabama coach Nick Saban said of Grant, who had two surgeries for a sports hernia.
"He decided because of injuries, he's already graduated, that he would not come back for his fifth year. He does qualify for a medical, if we need to do that, so he can continue academically."
Sikes also has graduated, Saban said.
Grant played in three games as a true freshman in 2006, carrying two times for 22 yards against Louisiana-Monroe. He missed the final nine games with an injury and received a medical redshirt year.
As a redshirt freshman in 2007, Saban's first year at Alabama, Grant led the Crimson Tide in rushing. He carried 180 times for 891 yards and eight touchdowns. He also caught 26 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown.
