Eli Ricks and Kool-Aid McKinstry get much of the conversation as potential starting cornerbacks for Alabama, but Khyree Jackson is involved too.
The Crimson Tide has a three-man race for two starting jobs, and Jackson is having a good offseason. He did well in spring practice, especially on A-Day at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Jackson locked down receivers, forcing two pass breakups. He played 12 games in 2021 as a junior college transfer from East Mississippi Community College (2020) and Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College (2019). The 6-foot-3, 198-pounder totaled seven tackles and two breakups. He started in place of an injured Jalyn Armour-Davis in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game versus Georgia.
