Bray Hubbard, you’re up next.

Alabama football needs someone to replace Keon Sabb at one safety spot for the time being, and Hubbard looks to be that guy.

Sabb sustained a lower-extremity injury in the Tennessee game, Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer said, and Alabama “expect(s) him to be down for a while.” So, the Crimson Tide is expected to call on Hubbard as Alabama looks to rebound after a second loss in three weeks. Next up, No. 15 Alabama will face No. 21 Missouri on Saturday (2:45 p.m. CT, ABC) at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Hubbard has a simple approach with a bigger opportunity in front of him.

“I just don’t want to let my brothers down,” he said Tuesday. “At the end of the day, that’s what we’re all doing. The goal at the end of the day is zero points on the board for them.”

Hubbard is in his second season with the Crimson Tide. He’s a former four-star athlete in the 2023 class from Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

Although he plays defensive back, Hubbard was primarily a quarterback in high school. Mississippi’s two-time Mr. Football contributed to 97 touchdowns over his high school career. That time and success as a quarterback helps him to this day.

“The quarterback, he’s going to give you tells of what he’s going to do,” Hubbard said. “Especially when you’re playing the post. He’s always going to give you something. I know that just from playing quarterback.”

The quarterback-turned-safety said he will aim to do his best and what Alabama needs him to do while he fills in for Sabb.

When Hubbard did so against Tennessee, he made seven tackles and only missed one, per Pro Football Focus. He was targeted once and allowed one reception for one yard.

“I feel like I played pretty well,” Hubbard said. “There are always things I can clean up on my side that I can do better to help my team out.”

The Crimson Tide secondary needs him to play well as it deals with a few guys being banged up and a handful of younger players receiving significant snaps this season. Alabama also has virtually no margin for error if it wants to still make the College Football Playoff.

“You want pressure on yourself to go make a play,” Hubbard said. “You want to be there for your guys whenever you’re called upon.”

Alabama hopes Hubbard picks up the phone.
