Alabama starting safety Keon Sabb will miss the rest of the 2024 season due to a lower-body injury that required surgery. The redshirt sophomore was seen on a mobility scooter after the Crimson Tide’s win over Mercer. Head coach Kalen DeBoer expressed support for Sabb and his commitment to the program, with hopes for his return next year.
Sabb transferred to Alabama from Michigan, where he won a national title in 2023. He quickly became a key player for the Crimson Tide, recording 39 tackles and two interceptions last season. Bray Hubbard will fill in for Sabb during his absence.
DeBoer emphasized the team’s support for Sabb during his recovery, acknowledging the challenges of injuries for players. Alabama will face Oklahoma in their next game on Saturday, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
Despite losing Sabb for the season, the Crimson Tide remains focused on their upcoming games and supporting their injured players. Alabama fans will be watching closely as the team navigates the rest of the season without one of their starting safeties.
