Analysis: Alabama gets Miller Forristall back for his fifth and final season in Crimson and White. After dealing with multiple injuries over the last few years, the former three-star tight end is hoping to stay healthy while contributing to what should be another high-powered passing attack.

The arrival of North Carolina grad transfer Carl Tucker, as well as the emergence of rising sophomore Jahleel Billingsley, gives the Tide a talented trio of tight ends for whoever ends up starting at quarterback.

With Forristall being limited somewhat as a blocker, Tucker is expected to fill that void while Forristall and Billingsley are relied on more in the passing game.
