The University of Alabama will have a few defensive players in its football program that must produce next season, especially when it comes to wanting a first-round draft grade.
After watching Patrick Surtain II record an early first-round value, Jordan Battle returns for his junior year.
An alumnus of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., he arrived in the Crimson Tide’s 2019 signing class as a four-star and one of the nation’s best safety prospects. He has played in 26 career games — including 17 starts — and has 96 tackles, five tackles for loss, one sack, five pass breakups, two interceptions, one fumble recovery, and one touchdown.
