“Domani Jackson’s Bold Move: From USC to Alabama’s Powerhouse Program”
After spending two years at the University of Southern California, he felt it was time for a change, and now the West Coast athlete feels at home with Alabama football in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Domani Jackson, who hails from Mater Dei High School, transferred to the Crimson Tide in the spring. Standing at 6 feet and weighing 197 pounds, Jackson sought the challenging culture at Alabama and is thriving.
He had a strong spring, an impressive offseason, and has been performing well through the first five practices of fall camp. Jackson was one of the few defensive players who spoke to reporters after Tuesday’s practice, expressing his happiness to be part of a powerhouse program, even with Nick Saban’s retirement.
“The ‘A’ doesn’t change,” Jackson said. “Alabama is still a powerhouse, still leading college football. I just wanted a change and to reset my college career. I felt this was the best opportunity for me.”
Jackson felt confident in Alabama’s future after Kalen DeBoer was hired as Saban’s successor.
“I played against him, so I know what they’re capable of,” Jackson said, referring to his experience competing against DeBoer and his staff at the University of Washington. “He’s a winning coach, and the staff he’s bringing in will be great.”
Jackson has the potential for a breakout season this fall, with the skills to become one of the top outside cornerbacks in the country.
