A trio of Alabama football players was named to the Preseason All-SEC First Team.

Bray Hubbard, Zabien Brown and Ryan Coleman-Williams were named to the first team. All three attended SEC Media Days and represented Alabama. Alabama offensive guard, Michael Carroll was named to the Second Team. Yhonzae Pierre and Keon Sabb were named to the Third Team.

Hubbard and Brown are expected to be leaders in the Crimson Tide’s secondary this fall. Coleman-Williams will be called upon to be an offensive playmaker this fall, and many members of the Alabama faithful want to see shades of the freshman who snatched college football’s attention.

Carroll returns to play guard for the Tide after gaining meaningful experience last year as a freshman. Sabb will join Hubbard and Brown as veteran members of the Tide’s secondary. Pierre returns to Tuscaloosa after coming on strong as a pass rusher as the 2025 season progressed.

The Crimson Tide is now expected to turn its attention to fall camp, with it slated to start over the next week or so. Alabama opens the season at home against East Carolina.
