Alabama tight end CJ Dippre releases farewell to Crimson Tide

Alabama tight end CJ Dippre releases farewell to the Crimson Tide program.

While the Alabama Crimson Tide are awaiting NFL draft decisions from a few underclassmen in particular, there are also other players who have now exhausted their remaining eligibility, meaning that they will not return next year regardless.

One of those players is senior tight end CJ Dippre, who played his final game for the Crimson Tide in the ReliaQuest Bowl after two seasons at Alabama. Dippre also took to social media Wednesday to write his farewell to Alabama in a statement, which can be found below.

Originally beginning his collegiate career at Maryland, Dippre transferred to Alabama prior to the 2023 season, and concluded his time with the Crimson Tide with a final stat line of 32 receptions for 443 yards. Alabama’s primary pass catching tight end, Dippre is also coming off a year in which he had 21 receptions for 256 yards.

Looking ahead, Dippre will enter the 2025 NFL draft where he projects as either a late round pick or an undrafted free agent signing.
