Hubbard finished with 66 tackles, including three for loss, along with a team-high four interceptions, six pass breakups, three forced fumbles, one sack and a quarterback hurry.

Hubbard's four interceptions entering postseason play were tied for the SEC lead and ranked 16th nationally. He also earned a 91.0 run-defense grade from Pro Football Focus, the second-highest among SEC safeties and the fifth-highest in the nation at his position.

Proctor anchored the left side of the Crimson Tide’s offensive line, starting all 13 games and helping Alabama average 389.4 yards and 31.2 points per game. He posted an 84.3 overall grade from Pro Football Focus, the second-highest among SEC offensive tackles.

Proctor logged 883 snaps at left tackle and surrendered just one sack in 534 pass-blocking snaps. He has not allowed a sack in 12 consecutive games since the season opener against Florida State.

The junior lineman also contributed as a ball carrier in short-yardage situations, turning five carries into 16 rushing yards and three first downs.

The Crimson Tide will face off against the Oklahoma Sooners on Friday, Dec. 19 in Norman in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
