A Truck That Turns Heads
When Bray Hubbard steps onto the practice field, the first thing many notice isn’t his arm strength or his footwork, but the deep‑throated roar that emanates from his modified diesel truck parked in the locker room lot.
The GMC 2500, a workhorse of the American road, has been stripped of emissions controls and fine‑tuned to unleash a horsepower surge that makes the engine sound more like a jet taking off than a typical pickup.
Hubbard admits that the extra power comes with a quirky side effect: a growing irritation when smaller cars try to squeeze into the diesel pump lane, turning a simple refuel into a bottleneck that can delay his post‑practice routine.
He jokes that he would run over the offending vehicle to make a quicker exit, a comment that underscores both his humor and the frustrations shared by many diesel enthusiasts.
The Alabama Connection
Beyond the garage, Hubbard is preparing for the September 5 showdown against East Carolina, a game that will test the Crimson Tide’s early‑season resolve and his own role as a senior leader.
Coach’s staff praises his work ethic, and teammates say his mechanical passions often translate into a meticulous approach on the field, where every detail matters.
As the team heads into the Florida stretch, the quarterback’s blend of automotive enthusiasm and football focus adds a distinctive flavor to the Crimson Tide’s narrative.
