He was not himself in Alabama’s sixth game of the 2018 season against Arkansas.
Trevon Diggs, who had grown so much throughout the summer, was burned on plays versus the Razorbacks that did not get by him during the five previous matchups. Despite having what was then a team-high six pass breakups, news surfaced on the junior sustaining a serious foot injury.
Former junior college star, Saivion Smith took his place in the last nine games as Diggs would watch his teammates win a Southeastern Conference championship, but fall short of its ultimate goal in the College Football Playoff.
