0:00On April 24th, Alabama Crimson Tide, offensive tackle Kate and Proctor got scooped up in the 2026 NFL draft, going number 12 overall, too. The Miami Dolphins in the first round, he became the very first player from Alabama taken this year, marking a big moment for the program. Proctor rolled into Tuscaloosa as a five-star stud from the 2023 recruiting class, ranked top 10 nationally. He grabbed the starting left tackle spot right out the gate as a true freshman and held it down for all three seasons, playing under both Nick Saven and Kaelin DeBoer. Fans and scouts are buzzing because this makes three-year straight that Alabama sent an offensive lineman to the first round. Think Tyler Booker at number 12 last year, and JC Latham at number 7 in 2024, Proctor keeps that powerhouse streak rolling. Now he's linking up with the Dolphins, where he'll be the second X Crimson Tide player on the roster alongside safety, Ronnie Harrison. Miami gets a proven protector of front to bolster their line.
