Alabama’s cornerback competition continues against Longhorns

Alabama head coach Nick Saban is not ready to end the competition at cornerback yet.

Four guys are battling for two starting jobs as the Crimson Tide plays Texas this weekend.

The names are Kool-Aid McKinstry, Eli Ricks, Khyree Jackson, and Terrion Arnold. McKinstry has been consistent from spring practice through fall camp, but Ricks, Jackson, and Arnold have been battling it out. McKinstry and Arnold got the starting nod last week versus Utah State. Arnold got tested early, but both played well. Jackson had a highlight play on defense, and Ricks earned opportunities too. The Aggies did not consistently attack the Crimson Tide’s corners, but Texas will do it.
