It now looks as though sophomore safety Keon Sabb will play no part for the Michigan football team in 2024, despite expectations that he would play a bigger role.
Aaron Suttles of Yea Alabama reported on X on Monday night that quarterback quarterback Josh Sabb has enrolled at Alabama and will play for the Crimson Tide in 2024. In 2023, Sabb made appearances in 14 games for Michigan, starting five of them. He finished with 28 tackles overall and two interceptions.
Despite not being a regular starter for the Wolverines, Sabb saw a lot of playing time as a stand-in defensive back. When Will Johnson, the sophomore cornerback, was injured, he filled in for Johnson at the start of several games.
During his relatively brief playing career, Sabb contributed several important plays for Michigan. In the Wolverines’ victory over Minnesota, he tallied six tackles overall, and in the National Championship game against Washington, he recorded a pick-six. In addition, he played 61 snaps against the Huskies, which is more than senior safety Makari Paige, who started.
