Jumbo Package: Does Alabama have the next top defensive back in the nation?

The Lott IMPACT Trophy announced its watch list for the 2021 season Tuesday, which featured 41 players. Representing Alabama on the watch list was senior cornerback Josh Jobe.

The Lott IMPACT Trophy is awarded annually to individuals who demonstrate excellence in athletics and recognizes college football’s Defensive Player of the Year who best exemplifies the IMPACT acronym: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.

While Pat Surtain rightfully gained all the headlines for his shutdown season at cornerback last year, that also meant that Josh Jobe was targeted more often as a result, and he absolutely delivered in terms of pass coverage.
