As a sophomore in 2017, Diggs switched to cornerback full-time. He was a starter for the season opener against Florida State, before being passed on the depth chart by Levi Wallace. He posted six tackles and three passes defended. He also played on special teams, returning 18 punts for 154 yards with a long of 21 yards, and two kickoffs for 74 yards.

As a junior in 2018, Diggs started the first six games of the season, before being lost for the year with a broken foot he suffered against Arkansas. He finished the year with 20 tackles and an interception.

As a senior in 2019, he started 12 games, while registering 37 tackles, three interceptions (tied for second on the team), eight passes defended (tied for the team lead) and two fumble recoveries, including a 100-yard touchdown return against Tennessee.
