WATCH: Alabama CB Terrion Arnold shows off basketball skills with a nasty dunk

Terrion Arnold is coming after playing time this season for Alabama football.

He spent his high school career as one of the top safety prospects in the nation, but the Tallahassee (Fla.) native has worked as a cornerback for the Crimson Tide. The 6-foot, 188-pounder brings length, athleticism, speed, ball skills, and high intelligence to the position. Arnold is battling Kool-Aid McKinstry, Khyree Jackson, and Tre’Quon Fegans (freshman) for an opportunity to start at cornerback opposite Eli Ricks. He played football and basketball at John Paul II Catholic High School and starred in both.

Coach Nick Saban recruited several players that were athletes on the gridiron and hardwood, including Julio Jones, DeVonta Smith, Henry Ruggs III, and Jaylen Waddle.
