Kalen DeBoer stated that Alabama could shuffle its defensive secondary for Missouri, and it has happened.
According to the Crimson Tide’s depth chart, Keon Sabb has been removed from free safety. The transfer from Michigan is down for while as he recovers from a foot injury. Bray Hubbard, a sophomore, is in his place. Hubbard, a former four-star in the 2023 recruiting class, played last week versus Tennessee. He posted nine tackles, including five solo stops in a 17-24 loss.
DaShawn Jones, a transfer from Wake Forest, is the immediate backup at “Husky” behind DeVonta Smith.

Red Morgan, a freshman, is behind Smith and Jones at Husky. King Mack, a transfer from Penn State, has gotten reps at Husky and safety at Alabama. He is listed at strong safety behind Malachi Moore for the contest versus the Tigers.
