I either forgot or wasn't aware that the Bama DB (Khyree Jackson) that tackled Jermaine Burton for a PI and was defending AD Mitchell on the go ahead TD in first title game had also passed away. He was killed by a woman changing lanes at a high rate of speed. She stands trial for vehicular manslaughter in June. Fourth round pick heading into his first NFL season. Hate it for both of those guys and their families.
Josh Jobe and Jalyn Armour-Davis were unable to go and replaced by McKinstry and Jackson. While much was made about the starters being out, Jackson and Mckinstry both eventually went higher in the NFL draft than the guys they replaced. Jackson transferred to Oregon his senior year as he would've been starting out on the bench for Saban. A really good player replaced by the Bama recruiting machine.
