Alabama football’s defense is set to feature two of the top 10 safety prospects to know ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft in Bray Hubbard and Keon Sabb, according to Pro Football Focus.
Hubbard and Sabb return to the Crimson Tide’s secondary after both gained valuable experience while sharing the field together for seven games in 2024.
Sabb first burst onto the scene for the Tide last season, reeling in two interceptions, 24 solo tackles and four pass deflections before having his sophomore campaign cut short due to a broken foot. This resulted in the emergence of Hubbard, who started in the final six contests and accumulated 38 total tackles, two interceptions and 1 forced fumble.
With Sabb expected to return to full form in 2025 and Hubbard looking to continue to build upon his success from last season, this is why Pro Football Focus feels confident these two Alabama defensive backs are among the top 10 safeties in all of college football.
