Former five-star Tide lineman who brought size, power, and stubborn durability
LaBryan Ray was a highly rated Alabama defensive lineman who entered college as a five-star recruit and gave the Tide a big-bodied, disruptive interior presence with real run-stopping grit. In his Alabama career, he played 45 games with 9 starts, posting 76 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks, but his college path was repeatedly interrupted by injuries, including foot and groin issues. That injury history is the main caution flag; when healthy, he’s the kind of tough, high-motor trench player coaches trust to do the dirty work.
