Dynamic back who can get from 0 to 100 in a flash. Shows the ability to accelerate and reach full speed in a hurry. Plays with low pad level and displays tremendous contact balance. Compact build standing at 5-foot-10.5, 185 pounds. Carries his weight well and has good weight distribution throughout his frame. Leg drive allows him to pull through arm tackles and fight for crucial extra yards. Showed off his long speed in track, running a 10.88 second mark in the 100 meters as a sophomore. Shows off his receiving ability by working in the slot often. Has some hip stiffness and makes defenders miss with his footwork more than his fluidity. His ability to hit the hole at full speed and blow through tackles is his greatest asset on first and second down. If he can continue to refine his ability as a pass catcher he can become a true three-down back at the next level.

Jeremiah Cobb was the top skill player for the Alabama squad through three practices at the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game. The 5-foot-10.5 185-pounder has a well-rounded skillset as an every down back. Cobb showed burst in getting to the perimeter and was able to outrun a speedy Alabama front seven on a handful of occasions. He was also a consistent target for the Alabama quarterbacks out of the backfield. Cobb looked to be the most natural pass catcher of the Alabama running backs and projects as a legitimate receiving threat out of the backfield at the college level.
