Athletes in football choose the University of Alabama for three reasons: to make a name for themselves, win national championships, and create a path to the National Football League.
Khyree Jackson is in the first phase of his journey.
Alabama sustained injuries to its starting cornerbacks, Josh Jobe and Jalyn Armour-Davis. Nick Saban lists Jobe (foot) as ‘very doubtful’ for the College Football Playoff Semifinal matchup. He is unsure about Armour-Davis (hip) status for the contest versus Cincinnati. Kool-Aid McKinstry, a true freshman, will replace Jobe at one of two corner spots. Armour-Davis could be on the field for New Year’s Eve, but the Crimson Tide has prepared Jackson for the moment at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
