Bray Hubbard didn’t know what to do.
After Alabama football’s 34-0 win against Missouri, the game the Crimson Tide safety secured his first collegiate interception off Tigers quarterback Drew Pyne, Hubbard ran 70 yards across the field, celebrating with his teammates.
“I kind of didn’t know what to do with the celebration,” Hubbard said on “The Tides That Bind: Inside Alabama Football” on Fox Nation. “I can’t dance anyways. So I ran 70 yards all the way to the end zone and just happy. I was like, man, this is crazy.”
But it was a celebration Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer was not happy with.
In the latest episode of the Alabama football documentary, communication from the coaches’ headsets picked up DeBoer’s dissatisfaction with Hubbard after his interception, repeatedly calling for the safety to “Get off the field.”
“Act like you’ve been there before,” DeBoer said. “Holy crap.”
Hubbard remembers DeBoer talking to him after the play was over.
“He was like, ‘We could have gotten a flag,'” Hubbard said. “I was like, ‘I know, I know. That’s on me coach. I got it now.’”
Hubbard moved into a starting safety spot next to Malachi Moore after Keon Sabb’s season-ending injury against Tennessee. Hubbard finished 2024 with 57 tackles, three interceptions, two pass deflections and a tackle-for-loss.
