Trevon Diggs is pacing Alabama’s secondary to success this season

He strikes as a shy, reserved person in front of cameras, but once a wide receiver enters his direction on the field, there is no getting off the island.

The summers he has spent training with his older brother, Stefon Diggs, has helped him become one of college football’s top coverage cornerbacks. Trevon Diggs, a native of Maryland, missed nine games last season with a foot injury and he was terribly missed in Alabama’s secondary.

His replacement, Saivion Smith, was not of the same quality – despite being a five star – and he surrendered the big plays to opposing teams in the passing game.
