Another member of the Alabama Crimson Tide‘s defensive back group will return for the 2025 football season.
In a move that had been widely expected, sophomore safety Keon Sabb took to social media Tuesday to confirm that he would play for Alabama in 2025. Sabb, who transferred from Michigan after the 2023 season, played in the Crimson Tide’s first seven games last season and suffered a season-ending lower body injury in the loss at Tennessee on Oct. 19.
Sabb had four pass breakups and two interceptions to go with 39 tackles in seven games. His two interceptions both came against TJ Finley in the first quarter of Alabama’s season-opening 63-0 win over Western Kentucky on Aug. 31 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
With Michigan in 2023, Sabb saw action in 13 of the Wolverines’ 15 games in their march to the national championship. Against Washington in the College Football Playoff Championship Game, he made six tackles and broke up two passes.
Sabb is the second defensive back within the past week to announce his return to Alabama in 2025. On Sunday, junior cornerback Domani Jackson announced that he would return for his senior season.
Defensive lineman LT Overton and linebackers Deontae Lawson and Justin Jefferson have also announced their returns for 2025.
Alabama opens the 2025 season against Florida State at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee on Aug. 30.
