The one position where Alabama hasn’t always found the most success under Nick Saban is at tight end. O.J. Howard was once a first-round pick, Irv Smith Jr. was a second-round pick, and Cam Latu went in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft, but outside of these guys, there hasn’t been a ton of pro potential from the position.
The Crimson Tide would love to get a key contributor from the TE position and they are heavily pursuing four-star TE, Davon Mitchell, of the 2025 class. He is the top-ranked TE in the class and a top-20 player regardless of position coming out of Los Alamitos, CA. At 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds he has a massive frame and would be an outstanding asset for any quarterback.
Depending on the site you look at, he varies between being a four and five-star prospect. This week, Mitchell listed his top-five schools that included Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and Miami. Hopefully, the staff down in Tuscaloosa can earn his services.
BREAKING: Four-Star TE Davon Mitchell is down to 5️⃣ Schools!
The 6’5 246 TE from Los Alamitos, CA is ranked as a Top 20 Player in his class (No. 1 TE)
