Alabama’s starting left tackle, Kadyn Proctor, has emerged as an unlikely all-purpose offensive weapon, adept at lining up at fullback or catching passes. However, according to teammate Wilkin Formby, Proctor’s most remarkable talent might be his ability to “eat a Chipotle bowl in 40 seconds.”
The 365-pound junior’s impact has been felt in key moments. Against Georgia, he caught a screen pass—officially an 11-yard rush—that set up a crucial touchdown in Alabama’s 24-21 victory. More recently, he took a handoff against Vanderbilt for a 2-yard gain to secure a critical first down.
His teammates have taken notice of his unique skill set. Quarterback Ty Simpson revealed that the offensive package designed for Proctor is nicknamed “Krispy.” The reason? “For all the doughnuts he eats,” Simpson said with a grin, adding, “Don’t tell him I said that.”
Formby, who is also Proctor’s roommate, praised his teammate’s exceptional athleticism. “We’ve been best friends since we got here,” Formby said. “Whether it’s dunking a basketball or playing in the backyard… he’s just a good athlete and he loves to fly around. He’s easily one of the most athletic players in college football.”
When asked if other offensive linemen were asking for similar opportunities, Formby stated there’s “no room” given Proctor’s effectiveness with the ball. “I don’t want the ball. Just let me block,” he laughed.
Even wide receiver Ryan Williams acknowledged Proctor’s skill, joking, “He told me he had better hands than me. I mean, he’s 100% on the catch ratio.”
While Formby chuckled at the idea of a Heisman campaign for Proctor, he affirmed he would be his “No. 1 supporter.” Fans may see more of the versatile lineman in action when the Crimson Tide travels to face Missouri for an 11 a.m. CT kickoff on ABC.
