Alabama DC Explains Dijon Lee's Expanded Role After Missouri Win

Kane Wommack ties snap counts to a player's body of work to reinforce accountability before Tennessee.

Overview

  • Freshman cornerback Dijon Lee Jr. played 49 defensive snaps to Domani Jackson’s 22, according to Pro Football Focus.
  • Lee allowed one catch for three yards on six targets and secured the game-clinching interception.
  • Wommack said the snap distribution reflected practice and in-game consistency, describing it as a body-of-work decision.
  • Calling the opening defensive series "truly unacceptable," Wommack noted Alabama then held Missouri to 163 rushing yards and 167 passing yards with two takeaways.
  • Wommack said Jackson remains in the rotation but must be more consistent, as No. 6 Alabama hosts No. 11 Tennessee on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
