The Crimson Tide’s creative wrinkle drew loud cheers inside the stadium. Proctor, who returned to Alabama this season after briefly transferring to Iowa, has been a fixture at left tackle. Widely projected as a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the sophomore’s rare turn with the football added a new chapter to the growing lore of linemen catching passes.
