LOS ANGELES − Nick Saban has to be extra happy about this addition.
At his core, Saban is a defensive backs coach, first and foremost. So when he adds a former five-star cornerback via the transfer portal, no one is probably more thrilled than him.
Domani Jackson, the former No. 5 player in the 2022 recruiting class, announced he had chosen Alabama football as his next home. Jackson had played two seasons for USC before entering the transfer portal in December.
He’s a 6-foot-1, 190-pound cornerback who played for Mater Dei high school in Santa Ana, California. The 247Sports Composite listed him as the No. 2 cornerback in the 2022 class as a five-star prospect.
247Sports ranked him as the No. 25 player in the transfer portal and the No. 3 cornerback.
As a freshman at USC in 2022, Jackson played in seven games. His role grew in 2023 as he tallied 32 tackles and broke up three passes.
Jackson becomes the latest player to join the Crimson Tide via the transfer portal. LT Overton, the former Texas A&M defensive lineman, announced his transfer to the Crimson Tide in December.
