The University of Alabama has celebrated a significant achievement as three of its football players have been recognized in the Associated Press (AP) All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) teams. Left tackle Kadyn Proctor and safety Bray Hubbard secured spots on the first team, while quarterback Ty Simpson was named to the second team. This recognition highlights the players’ exceptional performances during the current season.
Proctor’s outstanding contributions were further acknowledged when he was named co-winner of the SEC’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy on December 6, 2025. The junior from Iowa has been a reliable presence on the offensive line, starting all 13 games this season. His left tackle position has been a crucial stabilizing force for an offensive unit that has faced considerable challenges. Remarkably, Proctor has allowed just one sack throughout the season, showcasing his skill and resilience. In a surprising turn, he has also demonstrated versatility by carrying the ball, accumulating 16 yards and three first downs since his first touch during a victory against Georgia.
Hubbard’s selection to the first team underscores his significant role in Alabama’s defensive lineup. He, along with Proctor, also received recognition in the all-SEC teams voted on by the conference’s coaches, reinforcing their impact on the field.
Quarterback Ty Simpson, who has faced some struggles in recent games, has nonetheless been a key player for Alabama. The redshirt junior has thrown for 3,268 yards, accompanied by 26 touchdowns and just five interceptions this season. His performance has been instrumental in the Crimson Tide’s success, particularly when the team has performed at its peak.
Looking ahead, Alabama’s journey is far from over. The team is set to face the Oklahoma Sooners on December 19, 2025, in their first matchup of the College Football Playoff. This game holds particular significance, as Oklahoma defeated Alabama earlier this season in Tuscaloosa, adding an extra layer of intensity to the upcoming clash.
As the Crimson Tide prepare for this critical playoff game, the recognition of Proctor, Hubbard, and Simpson serves as a testament to their hard work and dedication throughout the season. Their contributions will be vital as Alabama aims to advance further in the postseason and reclaim its status as a powerhouse in college football.
