The Alabama Crimson Tide’s defense got some welcome news Sunday when junior cornerback Domani Jackson announced he would return for his senior season in 2025.

Jackson shared the news via Instagram.

A transfer from USC, Jackson played in 12 games for the Crimson Tide this past season. He had a game-saving interception of LaNarris Sellers to close out Alabama’s 27-25 win over South Carolina on Oct. 12 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

For the season, Jackson had seven pass deflections, a forced fumble and two interceptions — the other of which came in the first quarter of Alabama’s 41-34 win over the Georgia Bulldogs on Sept. 28.

With Jackson back, he joins defensive lineman LT Overton and, most recently, linebackers Justin Jefferson and Deontae Lawson as defensive players to announce their returns for 2025.

Alabama showed interest in Jackson when he was coming out of Mater Dei High School in the Los Angeles area in 2021. On3 ranked Jackson as the No. 1 overall cornerback in the class of 2022. He spent two seasons at USC before transferring to Alabama in late 2023.
