Brown is entering his third season with Alabama. Last season with the Tide, he totaled 39 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and 6 pass deflections. He also picked off 2 passes and returned both for touchdowns. He will lead an Alabama cornerback room that’s expected to be among the best in the SEC.
Elsewhere in the secondary, Hubbard is one of the top returning safeties in the nation and is one of the most experienced players on Alabama’s roster. Hubbard has been credited with 137 tackles in his Alabama career to go along with 7 interceptions.
Coleman-Williams is the only offensive player to be named a captain. He endured a sophomore slump in 2025, but has earned consistent praise from coaches and teammates this offseason for his work ethic. Coleman-Williams has 97 receptions in his college career so far.
Notably, all 3 captains are Alabama lifers and have not transferred during their college careers.
