The secondary should be the strength of Alabama’s defense next season.
It loses Patrick Surtain II to the National Football League; however, it returns Josh Jobe, Jordan Battle, Malachi Moore, DeMarcco Hellams, Brian Branch, and Daniel Wright among others with experience. On Wednesday, the Crimson Tide signed its highest-rated recruiting class of the Nick Saban era. Of its 27 nationally signed letters of intent, eight players are five-stars.
Within the class, the Tide signed a lot of talent for its defensive backfield.
Spring football will provide some competition, but fall practice should tell the story. Assuming that Jobe’s spot is safe, although it is not, yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine looks at the names in line for the other cornerback spot.
