Proctor made the Freshman All-SEC Team, helping the program to a Southeastern Conference Championship and a return to the College Football Playoff. The 6-foot-7, 360-pounder posted a photo to his Instagram of Michael Jordan announcing "I'm Back" for the Chicago Bulls in coming out of retirement to the NBA in 1995. Reports immediately surfaced on Proctor returning to the Crimson Tide to re-enroll this spring. He's been in contact with several of his former Tide teammates, including Tyler Booker.
