The first scrimmage of fall camp is complete, but the competition is just getting started. One of the bigger questions that remain for the 2021 Alabama football team is who will be the corner opposite of returning starter Josh Jobe.
This spring we saw redshirt junior Jalyn Armour-Davis take the reps at the open position and at this point he is probably the leading candidate to take on that role. But at Alabama, you can never count out some of the uber-talented freshmen that Nick Saban and staff bring in every year.
A couple of weeks ago we mentioned some freshmen to watch out for during fall camp, among those were defensive backs Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold.
From all indications, both Kool-Aid and Arnold were impressive throughout the summer and have carried that momentum into fall camp.
We saw Kool-Aid grab an interception this spring against Braxton Barker, and apparently, in the Tide’s first scrimmage of fall camp, Arnold was also able to pick off one of the QB’s.
With all that being said, the competition is starting to heat for the one open spot in the back-end of the Alabama defense.
Will it be the savvy veteran or one of the sensational freshmen?
Whoever it is, they will have to earn it!
