The Alabama Crimson Tide celebrated the recognition of three standout players on the Associated Press All-SEC teams, with Kadyn Proctor and Bray Hubbard earning first-team honors and Ty Simpson landing a spot on the second team. This acknowledgment highlights the exceptional performances these athletes have delivered throughout the season.
Kadyn Proctor’s Remarkable Season
Proctor, a junior left tackle from Iowa, has emerged as a cornerstone of Alabama’s offensive line. He has started all 13 games this season and is a co-winner of the SEC’s prestigious Jacobs Blocking Trophy, awarded for exceptional performance in blocking. Notably, Proctor has allowed just one sack throughout the season, showcasing his reliability and skill in a position that has faced challenges.
In addition to his blocking prowess, Proctor has made headlines by contributing to the rushing game, accumulating 16 yards and securing three first downs after making his first touch during Alabama’s victory over Georgia. His versatility adds an extra dimension to the Crimson Tide’s offensive strategies.
Defensive Strength with Bray Hubbard
Joining Proctor on the first team is safety Bray Hubbard, who has been instrumental in bolstering Alabama’s defense. His performance has consistently ranked among the best in the SEC, making him a key player in the team’s success. Both Proctor and Hubbard were also recognized by the conference’s coaches as first-team selections, further validating their contributions to the Crimson Tide’s campaign.
Quarterback Ty Simpson, despite facing some recent struggles, has been a significant factor in Alabama’s offensive efforts. The redshirt junior has thrown for 3,268 yards, with 26 touchdowns and only five interceptions this season. His leadership will be critical as the team prepares for the upcoming challenges.
Alabama is set to face Oklahoma on December 19, 2025, marking their first game in the College Football Playoff. This matchup is particularly significant as Alabama seeks to avenge an earlier defeat to Oklahoma earlier in the season.
The recognition of these players not only reflects their individual talents but also underscores the collective effort of the Alabama football program as they aim for success in the playoffs. As the season progresses, the contributions of Proctor, Hubbard, and Simpson will be pivotal in determining the team’s trajectory.
