Alabama Safety Keon Sabb Out for Season

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed that safety Keon Sabb will miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to a foot injury sustained during the team's loss to Tennessee. After undergoing surgery, Sabb's recovery timeline remains uncertain, but DeBoer expressed confidence in his return next year, highlighting Sabb's commitment and positive impact on the team. Prior to his injury, Sabb had made significant contributions with 39 tackles, two interceptions, and four pass breakups. Bray Hubbard has stepped in as the starting safety in Sabb's absence, showing promise with 13 tackles and two interceptions over three games. DeBoer emphasized the emotional challenges injuries pose for players, showing support for Sabb as he navigates this difficult time. Alabama is set to play against Oklahoma this weekend, with Hubbard continuing to lead the defense.
