Why Dijon Lee Jr. needs to play a key role in Alabama’s defense next season

Alabama’s secondary will be headlined by cornerbacks Domani Jackson and Zabien Brown during the 2025 season. One cornerback that could emerge at the cornerback position is freshman Dijon Lee Jr.

Lee Jr. needs to play a key role on Alabama’s defense in 2025. Touchdown Alabama will explain why.

First off, Lee Jr. is not your prototypical cornerback. The California native is listed at 6-foot-4, 200 pounds. He can play boundary corner or serve as a nickel corner. His length and size make it difficult for wide receivers to create a lot of separation. Lee Jr. has displayed great closing speed this spring and should be a mainstay in Alabama’s defense the entire season.
