Kane Wommack considers him one of Alabama’s three starters at inside linebacker, but the Crimson Tide will not have him during the first half of Saturday’s game against Wisconsin.
Justin Jefferson, a former junior college transfer, was flagged for targeting in Alabama’s 42-16 victory last week over South Florida on Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Tide fans disagreed with the call as they perceived Jefferson led with his shoulder and not the crown of his helmet to hit Bulls’ quarterback, Byrum Brown. However, the officiating staff did not feel the same way. Jefferson was called for targeting and according to the NCAA rules, he will miss first half against the Badgers.
