As we continue through the offseason, Roll Tide Wire has decided to bring fans a quick snapshot of each scholarship player listed on Alabama’s 2020 football roster.
Each day, we’ll release two player profiles giving fans a glimpse into the players who will be available this upcoming season. Whether that’s size, classification, hometowns or recruiting rankings coming out of high school, we’ve got you covered.
Also included in each article is a quick recap letting you know what to expect from that player for the upcoming 2020 season and beyond.
Next up on the list is redshirt sophomore tight end Cameron Latu out of Salt Lake City (Utah).
Cameron Latu, Tight End
Height: 6-5 / Weight: 247
Class: Redshirt Sophomore
Hometown: Salt Lake City (Utah)
High School: Olympus High School
HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 131 overall / No. 7 WDE / No. 3 UT
HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / No. 113 overall / No. 5 WDE / No. 2 UT
Analysis: Cameron Latu made the move from outside linebacker to tight end prior to last season, and with that move was an expected transition period that carried throughout 2019. Now, it will be interesting to see how Latu has come along with his development.
The tight end position is loaded with talent, including Miller Forristall, Jahleel Billingsley and now grad transfer Carl Tucker from North Carolina, so it might be difficult for Latu to work his way into any significant playing time. But with Forristall and Tucker both entering the final years of their eligibility, the chance for significant playing time could be in play in 2021.
