Alabama Has Only One Player on Preseason All-America Team

The Alabama Crimson Tide have only one player named to the Sporting News preseason All-America team, a surprising result given the high expectations surrounding the team. Safety Bray Hubbard was the only player selected, making the list as a member of the second team. Hubbard's impressive season included leading the SEC with four interceptions and forcing three fumbles, among other notable contributions.

In contrast, wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams, who had a strong start to his college career, was notably absent from the list. Cornerback Zabien Brown, who led the nation in pick-sixes last season, was also omitted from the preseason All-America selection. Despite Hubbard's noteworthy performance, it remains to be seen if he will be the only Crimson Tide player to make the final All-America cut as the season progresses.
