Proctor Played At Alabama After Flirting With Iowa For College<\/p>\n
Initially, Proctor committed to staying in-state, planning to enroll at the University of Iowa. However, he flipped his commitment to Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide on early signing day in December 2022.<\/p>\n
When Saban retired from Alabama, Proctor transferred to the Hawkeyes and Kirk Ferentz, but just a few months later when the transfer portal officially opened, he announced that he was returning to the Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n
Proctor caught a key 11-yard pass during a game this past fall vs. Georgia<\/a>, helping set up a touchdown for Alabama. He was a consensus All-American this past season, winning the Jacobs Blocking Trophy while making the all-SEC first team after being a second team selection in the conference in 2024.<\/p>\n Former Head Coach Nick Saban Describes Kadyn Proctor<\/p>\n Proctor was also a Freshman All-American in 2023 and on the SEC all-freshman team that season.<\/p>\n Saban, appearing on The Pat McAfee Show earlier this week, described Proctor and discussed his NFL future.<\/p>\n \u201cThis guy is so talented, big, physical, can move, has power, he\u2019s got range, he\u2019s got good feet,\u201d Saban said (thanks to Mike Rodak<\/a> for the quotes). \u201cThe issue with him is\u00a0 – he\u2019s not a bad person, he\u2019ll do whatever you ask him to do once you get him in the building, but when he\u2019s not in the building, he might get a little overweight, he might not come in in the best shape.\u201d<\/p>\n Saban added that there is \u201cno downside\u201d in taking Proctor, who he believes could move to guard along the offensive line if that was needed.<\/p>\n
