Alabama DB Shyheim Carter resembled former UA standout in SEC title win

Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm totaled over 300 yards passing; however, the sophomore did not have much success against one Alabama defensive back in particular.

He was recruited in 2016 to be an island cornerback, but much like former Crimson Tide standout Minkah Fitzpatrick, Shyheim Carter has become a jack of all trades.

No one caught a pass on him and aside from running back D’Andre Swift taking a perfect angle on a swing pass for a touchdown, the junior from Louisiana locked everything down from his nickel position. While carrying a team-high three pass breakups in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game, Carter’s pressure off the edge resembled Fitzpatrick in the third quarter.
