Alabama defensive back Josh Jobe will be out for the entire College Football Playoff after undergoing foot surgery “to repair a foot injury,” according to Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports.
Jobe has been a key member of the Crimson Tide secondary. The senior has had a productive season, recording 38 total tackles, four pass deflections and two interceptions.
Zenitz reports that Alabama may now turn to two stars to fill Jobe’s role: Jalyn Armour-Davis and true freshman Kool-Aid McKinstry.
Alabama will face off against Cincinnati in the 2021 Cotton Bowl on Dec. 31 for the chance to compete for National Championship No. 19.
