Reichard talked to Alabama beat writer Charlie Potter to discuss his decision.
“I definitely did think about it, coming back or leaving,” Reichard told Potter. “I wasn’t sure for a really long time, and then after talking to my friends and family and some people that I trust, I decided to go ahead and give it a shot.”
He’ll have one more game for the Crimson Tide, facing off against Kansas State on Dec. 31 at Noon on ESPN in the Sugar Bowl.
