In 81 days, Kalen DeBoer will usher in a new era of Alabama Crimson Tide football, replacing the legendary [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] as head coach in Tuscaloosa.

Coach DeBoer and the Crimson Tide will take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Aug. 31 to kick off the 2024 college football season inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Here at Roll Tide Wire, we will be counting down the days until Alabama football takes the field.

With 81 days remaining, we look at the current starter at tight end for the Crimson Tide, [autotag]C.J. Dippre[/autotag].

Dippre is entering his second season with Alabama after transferring from Maryland. In 2023 Dippre caught 11 passes for 187 yards.

Former Alabama TE, Elijah Brown, announces transfer to FAU

Former Alabama TE announces transfer location to Florida Atlantic

The most recent of 17 former Alabama football players to announce his transfer destination this offseason is tight-end, Elijah Brown, who announced via social media on Monday that he would be continuing his collegiate career with the Florida Atlantic Owls. Brown is the only one of the Alabama transfers to not land at another Power Five program, but he will be teaming up with former Texas head coach Tom Herman.

Brown only spent one year in Tuscaloosa after enrolling early in January of 2022. He has a massive frame at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds and will certainly find a role in the Owls’ offense. Coming out of high school, Brown was a four-star recruit and the No. 8 TE in his class. He will have four years of eligibility remaining after redshirting in 2022.

Alabama has plenty of depth at the tight end position heading into 2023. Incoming top-100 recruit, Amari Niblack, is expected to see playing time from early on and Alabama also decided to add former Maryland TE, C.J. Dippre via the transfer portal.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor Elijah Brown’s collegiate career.

Position Breakdown: Alabama’s TE’s ahead of spring practice

A deep dive into the Alabama tight end room ahead of spring practice.

We are now just a few weeks out from [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team taking the practice field to begin spring ball.

As is the case each offseason, there are many questions that need to be answered before the Tide hit the field to start the 2023 season.

As spring practice creeps closer, we are going to break down each position group on both sides of the ball. We have already looked at the quarterbacks, running backs, defensive line, and outside linebackers. Today we will take a look at the tight end group which could be a strength of the Tide offense.

Let’s dive right in!
