Josh Jobe

Alabama head coach Nick Saban provided a positive update on the health of LSU transfer Eli Ricks during his Wednesday press conference.

The first decision comes from senior Josh Jobe as, according to Matt Zenitz of On3, he has announced that he will not return to Tuscaloosa for his additional COVID year and instead prepare for the NFL Draft.

According to Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports, Alabama senior cornerback Josh Jobe underwent foot surgery this week and will be unavailable for the Tide's playoff run. Jobe has been dealing with a turf toe injury that has impacted his availability most of the year.

Redshirt junior Jalyn Armour-Davis came up with his first career interception late in the first quarter of Alabama's 31-29 win over the Florida Gators on Saturday to open up conference play.

It has been a long road for Jalyn Armour-Davis, but the redshirt-junior cornerback made his first career start for Alabama on Saturday.

Jalyn Amour-Davis has held down the No. 1 cornerback spot opposite of Josh Jobe since spring practice, but a recent injury has opened the door for some young cornerbacks.

In a roughly 160-play practice, one player that stood out was freshman defensive back Terrion Arnold, who picked off Bryce Young while earning reps with Alabama's second-team defense.

The Alabama Crimson Tide football team has been making headlines as award watch lists are being released. Alabama senior Josh Jobe and junior Jordan Battle have been named to the Jim Thorpe Award Watch List. The Thorpe Award is given annually by the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame to the nation's top defensive back.

Will Anderson and Josh Jobe have been named to the preseason watchlist for the Bednarik Trophy, awarded to the top defensive player in college football.

Jalyn Armour-Davis has patiently waited for this opportunity, but the redshirt junior is ready to make a big impact for this Alabama defense in 2021.
