Khyree Jackson came off the field hurt after Alabama’s loss to Georgia in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
Jackson, a junior college transfer from East Mississippi Community College, started at cornerback in replacing Jalyn Armour-Davis. He recorded two tackles and one pass breakup, but AD Mitchell caught a 40-yard touchdown from Stetson Bennett on Jackson. Georgia went after the young defensive back and took a 19-18 lead in the fourth quarter. It was one of two plays Jackson surrendered in the secondary. He had a good postseason in relief of Armour-Davis, but Jackson will grow from this moment.
