Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams told local and national reporters to watch cornerback Khyree Jackson in the College Football Playoff.
“When you guys see Khyree, you are going to like him,” Williams said.
Jackson, a junior college transfer from East Mississippi Community College, posted via Twitter that Dec. 31, 2020, would be a moment worth the wait. As a Maryland native, he earned an opportunity to play in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl versus Cincinnati.
Nick Saban replaced Jalyn Armour-Davis with Jackson, and the 2021 signee performed well against the Bearcats.
The 6-foot-3, 197-pounder had three tackles and one pass breakup.
