Bray Hubbard

Dean Kindig

2 solo, 6 assists 2 PBU vs SCAR; 4 solos, 1 assist vs FSU, 5 solos 4 asst vs GA, all 2025 scouted. 74 total tackles, 2 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 4 interceptions, and 8 pass deflections in 2025. Interchangeable Swiss army Safety (who added 31% of snaps at Nickel/Box, 38% at CB ). Versatility is Hubbard's calling-card. He fits the "versatile"chameleon DB" need more than Taaffe did. Bama was PFF's 2nd-Ranked Secondary in College Football as of this writing. I see Hubbard as a successor to new alumni Cam Lewis or Taron Johnson, but with all of our injuries in the secondary, maybe you need a Jack-of-all-trades.
