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 junior tight end Major Tennison out of Flint (Tex.).
Major Tennison, Tight End
Height: 6-5 / Weight: 248
Class: Redshirt Junior
Hometown: Flint (Tex.)
High School: Bullard High School
HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 284 overall / No. 9 TE / No. 45 TX
HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / N/A overall / No. 15 TE / No. 43 TX
Analysis: Major Tennison finally saw his role increased during the 2019 season after spending his first couple years in a reserve role. On the year, the former four-star tight end played in all 13 games with one start.
Unfortunately, that playing time didn’t lead to a lot of statistical success, as Tennison only brought in three passes for 21 yards. He did, however, turn one of those receptions into a touchdown against Duke in the season opener.
It will be interesting to see how Tennison fits into Alabama’s plan this season. Miller Forristall and second-year player Jahleel Billingsley return as well, and North Carolina grad transfer Carl Tucker is also going to be heavily involved.
Will Tennison take a backseat to that trio? It’s entirely possible, but it might be a little premature to rule him out completely.
