Alabama Football Defense Depth Chart – Cornerbacks and Safeties
The Alabama Crimson Tide returns one starter and two partial starters from the 2019 secondary. The one returning starter might be the best cornerback in the nation, Patrick Surtain II. The partial starters, Josh Jobe and Jordan Battle have far less experience, just six career starts between them. But for the 2020 Crimson Tide secondary, those six starts make them veterans. Most likely, Jobe will start at one corner and Battle will start at safety.
That leaves another safety and the Nickel and Money positions. At least nine Crimson Tide defenders are battling for the three positions. Two of them are true freshmen.
- Cornerback Starter – Patrick Surtain II
- Cornerback Starter – Josh Jobe
- Cornerback Backup – Ronald Williams or Jaylin Armour-Davis
- Cornerback Backup – Marcus Banks or Brandon Turnage
- Safety Starter – Jordan Battle
- Safety Starter – Daniel Wright
- Safety Backup – Demarcco Hellams
- Safety Backup – Eddie Smith or Malachi Moore
- Nickel Corner (Star) Starter – Brian Branch or Jaylin Armour-Davis or Malachi Moore
- Dime DB (Money) Starter – Demarcco Hellams or TBD
The 2020 Alabama football secondary will become very good. The only question is how long it will take.
