Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wrote on Twitter that he will announce next Monday whether he will enter the NFL draft or return to college for another season.

Tagovailoa is recovering from season-ending hip surgery and has not played since being injured at Mississippi State on Nov. 16. He had surgery two days later.

Tagovailoa is a junior and considered one of the top quarterback prospects in the country. He seemed a likely top-five NFL draft pick before the injury. The severity of the injury makes his value more uncertain, though doctors who have treated him have said a full recovery is expected.

Tagovailoa was on the sideline for Alabama's 35-16 victory Wednesday at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida, using one crutch to help him get around. A few hours after the game he posted on his verified Twitter account: "I'll be making my decision on the 6th.. God bless and Roll Tide."

In 32 college games, Tagovailoa has thrown 87 touchdown passes and been intercepted 11 times.
