Alabama’s secondary is facing adjustments with Keon Sabb, a veteran transfer from Michigan, sidelined due to a broken foot.
Sabb’s injury occurred during last week’s game against Tennessee, and sophomore Bray Hubbard from Mississippi stepped in to fill his role at free safety.
Looking ahead, Alabama’s defensive staff is exploring additional shifts to adapt to Sabb’s absence. On his recent “Hey Coach” radio show, head coach Kalen DeBoer hinted that other players in the secondary could see role adjustments to enhance coverage and depth.
Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack also pointed out the notable performances of young players like Hubbard and King Mack, who rose to the challenge against Tennessee.
Wommack praised the young secondary talent for their urgency and dedicated preparation in practice, expressing confidence in their ability to support Alabama’s defensive lineup in the coming games.
Alabama now relies on this youthful depth to stabilize the secondary, hoping their energy and adaptability will uphold the team’s defensive standards as they navigate Sabb’s recovery.
