Alabama’s defensive coaching staff is excited about what it is about to see with Bray Hubbard.
He is the one who will replace Keon Sabb at free safety as Sabb is recovering from an injury. Hubbard recorded nine tackles, including a team-high five solo stops, last week versus Tennessee. The second-year defensive back made some critical plays on third down to get the ball back to Alabama’s offense. A former four-star from Ocean Springs, Miss., Hubbard received praise from Kane Wommack for his performance. Wommack, the Tide’s defensive coordinator, said Hubbard did ‘a lot of good things.’

The 6-foot-2, 204-pounder learned a lot from being under Sabb, but he’s prepared for this moment.
