Can Alabama football OL win Joe Moore Award? Four questions after 2025 SEC media days – The Tuscaloosa News
At the 2025 SEC Media Days, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer emphasized the importance of physicality and continuity for the Crimson Tide’s success. He highlighted the offensive line as the team’s foundation, noting the return of standout lineman Kadyn Proctor, a 6-foot-7, 360-pound tackle projected as a potential first-round NFL draft pick.

Proctor, along with center Parker Brailsford, has been instrumental in Alabama’s offensive line performance. Both players were recognized on the 2024 Joe Moore Midseason Honor Roll, with Brailsford and Proctor among 22 players who had not allowed a pressure that season. (si.com)
The Crimson Tide’s offensive line has also been a key factor in the team’s rushing success. In 2024, Alabama averaged 192 rushing yards per game, with six games surpassing 170 yards. Notably, 51.2% of these rushing yards were gained before contact, ranking fifth nationally. (si.com)
Looking ahead, the offensive line’s cohesion and performance will be crucial for Alabama’s prospects in the 2025 season. If they maintain their high level of play, the Crimson Tide could be strong contenders for the Joe Moore Award, which honors the nation’s top offensive line unit. (en.wikipedia.org)
