Alabama Left Tackle Kadyn Proctor Becomes Consensus All-American

Alabama left tackle Kadyn Proctor has been showered with postseason recognition, and his latest is perhaps the most important.

The Football Writers Association of America named Proctor a First Team All-American on Thursday. This honor clinched him the title of Consensus All-American, as he also earned First Team honors by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

The Football Writers Association of America is one of the five All-American teams the NCAA uses for determining consensus and unanimous status. The other four include the American Football Coaches Association, the Associated Press, the Sporting News and Walter Camp. A player needs three of these five organizations to select him as a First Team member in order to reach consensus status, while all five must include his name to be a unanimous selection.

Proctor, who is the Crimson Tide's first First Team All-American since linebacker Dallas Turner in 2023, was named to the Second Team by the Associated Press and the Sporting News. The All-SEC First Team member was also the co-winner of the conference's Jacobs Blocking Trophy, as he shares the award with Texas A&M's Trey Zuhn III.

The Crimson Tide's offensive line underwent a ton of in-game substitutions throughout the regular season, but Proctor has cemented himself as the left tackle. He contributed 883 total snaps at left tackle for the regular season and allowed just one sack in 534 pass blocking snaps.
