Crimson Tide Defense Shines Preseason | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s defense is already heating up for next season, with three returning stars—safety Bray Hubbard, cornerback Zabien Brown, and outside linebacker Yhonzae Pierre—named to the preseason Chuck Bednarik Award watch list. This prestigious honor recognizes college football’s top defensive player, and Alabama has a rich history with it, having produced winners like Jonathan Allen, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and Will Anderson Jr. Last year, Hubbard led the SEC in tackles and interceptions, Brown dominated return stats with two TDs, and Pierre racked up eight sacks and 14.5 TFLs. With their eyes on another Bednarik trophy, these players are poised to make history again in Tuscaloosa. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
