B.J. Scott played very little defense in high school, starring at Vigor as a quarterback and receiver. He went to Alabama in 2008 with visions of offensive packages being designed for him to showcase his skills. But after catching only two passes as a freshman, Scott jumped at the chance to move to cornerback, taking a redshirt year last season as he made the transition. Scott and sophomore Dre Kirkpatrick are the projected starters at cornerback in a rebuilt Alabama secondary. With Ryan Mallett in the SEC West and Auburn's Cam Newton also expected to shine, Scott and Kirkpatrick will be challenged early and often. How they respond will be the key to the Tide's hopes of defending their national title.
