Concerns were expressed by many at Southeastern Conference Media Days, including Nick Saban, about the University of Alabama’s defensive secondary for this season.
The Crimson Tide has finished two fall practices, and Kane Wommack — Alabama’s defensive coordinator — has highlighted defensive backs that have impressed him. He named Domani Jackson (transfer from USC) and Zabien Brown (freshman), but Wommack saved his best comment for a former Alabama high school Class 6A state champion. He said Jaylen Mbakwe, a five-star freshman from Clay-Chalkville High School, has made the ‘greatest strides’ since arriving on campus back in the spring.
