Former Alabama cornerback Khyree Jackson died in a tragic automobile accident on July 6 at just 24-years-old.
He was recently drafted in the fourth round by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2024 NFL Draft and was set to begin his rookie year in the NFL this coming fall."The Vikings will cover a 'significant' portion of the expenses for Khyree Jackson's funeral, per the team," Seifert wrote on X . "It's scheduled for this Friday. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, Kevin O’Connell, Brian Flores, Matt Daniels and Daronte Jones will be among the contingent attending.
Former Alabama edge rusher Dallas Turner signed his rookie contract with the Vikings over the weekend. He would've been teammates with Jackson once again after the two of them played in Tuscaloosa, Ala. from 2021-2022. Turner made a really nice gesture to carry on the name and memory of Jackson as he put his former teammate's nameplate on his Vikings locker.A native of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Jackson attended Fort Scott Community College for one year out of high school before enrolling at Alabama prior to the 2021 season. He played for the Crimson Tide for two seasons, eventually transferring to Oregon where he became a First Team All-Pac-12 honoree in 2023.
