In No. 10 Alabama’s 27-20 win over the Auburn Tigers on Saturday night, Zabien Brown stood out as he recorded four tackles, a pass defelection and only allowed four receptions for 26 yards.
What makes his performance even more impressive is the fact that he went up against Auburn’s star wide receiver, Cam Coleman, for most of the game, while only allowing a 42.4 passer rating in the 12 times that he was targeted.
Brown arrived on campus last year and immediately made an impact as a freshman. Starting in eight games for the Tide, he recorded 14 solo tackles, two pass deflections and three interceptions.
