Domani Jackson transfers to Alabama football: 247 ranking, more to know of cornerback commit
The early signing period may be over, but Nick Saban is still finding five star-caliber talent for Alabama's 2024 roster.
The latest such addition came in the form of USC transfer cornerback Domani Jackson, who committed to the Crimson Tide over Michigan on Friday. Video emerged on Thursday of Jackson attending No. 4 Alabama's practice ahead of Monday's Rose Bowl Game vs. the Wolverines.
Jackson not only was considered one of the top prospects of the 2022 recruiting class, but also one of the top players of the transfer portal. Considering Alabama could lose starting corners Terrion Arnold and Kool-Aid McKinstry to the 2024 NFL Draft, the addition of Jackson could be a huge addition to the Crimson Tide's secondary next season.
