On Saturday afternoon, Alabama Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kane Wommack spoke to the media for what was the first time since fall camp officially began.
As part of this, Wommack, who is entering his second season as defensive coordinator at Alabama, commented on many different areas of the Crimson Tide defense, some of which were players.
Among that group of players in particular was returning safety Keon Sabb, who is currently working his way back from a season-ending injury sustained last October against Tennessee.
Wommack was also asked the question if Sabb has since returned to 100% following Saturday’s practice as well, with the Alabama defensive coordinator saying of the returning starter:
“Keon’s doing a really good job,” Wommack said. “He has really pushed, our training staff’s done a great job with him. I think he’s ahead of really every marker that we had in the offseason for him, and we weren’t sure if he was going to be able to go to the level that he’s going right now at the beginning of fall camp, but he is, and he’s here. I don’t know if I could put a number on it exactly, but I mean, he’s out there playing with our guys, and so he’s comfortable enough to be able to do that. Sometimes, those injuries, you just have to build a callous of coming back, and I think that’s something that he’s really pushing himself right now to get ready for the season.”
Transferring from Michigan last offseason, Sabb was a day-one starter for the Crimson Tide at safety a year ago who compiled 39 tackles and 0.5 TFL across his seven games played. Sabb also had two interceptions, both of which came in the season opener against Western Kentucky.
Sabb, a redshirt junior, is expected the start for the Crimson Tide at safety once again this fall, opposite of Bray Hubbard.
