Alabama fans have seen young names in the defensive secondary get opportunities this season.

Jaylen Mbawke, Zabien Brown, King Mack, and Bray Hubbard have all stepped up. Crimson Tide nation saw another name emerge on Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium last week versus Missouri. He arrived as a talented four-star prospect in Alabama’s 2024 recruiting class from Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Fla. Zavier Mincey brings elite height at 6’3″ and possesses the range to cover ground as a safety. He made a punishing tackle against the Tigers and finished with four total stops.

Mincey is getting an opportunity because of a foot injury to Keon Sabb.
