You probably haven't heard or seen Domani Jackson much this season when watching Alabama football. That's not because he hasn't been out there; it's because he's keeping his side of the field so locked down that quarterbacks aren't even trying to throw the ball over there.
It's never a bad thing when you don't hear a cornerback's name called. That tends to mean they are doing their job. And Jackson is certainly doing his job.
He's doing it so well, in fact, that according to PFF's data, he hasn't allowed a reception in 55 coverage snaps:

Jackson transferred to Alabama from USC following the 2023 season. He was really good in his first season with the Crimson Tide a year ago, and appears to have leveled up in 2024. He finished with 51 tackles, a forced fumble, and two interceptions a year ago. He had the game-sealing interception to finish off South Carolina, and also had a pick in the Georgia game. Hopefully, lightning strikes twice on Saturday night in Athens.
Domani Jackson headlines an elite Alabama secondary
Jackson and sophomore Zabien Brown make up a heck of a duo at corner. Alabama's secondary has the potential to be elite with those two plus Keon Sabb and Bray Hubbard at safety. It's what allows defensive coordinator Kane Wommack to be more aggressive with his defensive play calling. He's more comfortable dialing up blitzes knowing Jackson and Brown can survive on an island by themselves.
Jackson has been elite so far this season, but Georgia will undoubtedly provide the biggest test to date for Alabama's secondary. The Bulldogs are improved at WR this season, led by USC transfer Zachariah Branch (a former teammate of Jackson's), Colbie Young, and London Humphreys. Tight ends Oscar Delp and Lawson Luckie provide difficult matchups as well.
Alabama will need Jackson to play to the peak of his ability on Saturday night. If the Crimson Tide can cover well and force Gunner Stockon to hold onto the ball for just a beat longer, then it could allow Alabama's pass rush to get home and create some havoc plays that swing the game in Athens.
