Alabama head coach Nick Saban addressed an audience that included members of the team, coaching staff, administration and support staff [but not media] following the awards session in which he recapped the 2023 season so far. Saban also discussed the team’s berth in the College Football Playoff and the upcoming Semifinal matchup with top-ranked Michigan.

The Crimson Tide capped the night off by naming three permanent team captains: Malachi Moore, Milroe and Dallas Turner. The group was selected by their teammates as the representatives for the 2023 team.
