Cameron Latu is making his presence felt as a starter at tight end for Alabama.
The junior from Utah caught two touchdowns from Bryce Young in the first half against Miami. Both players developed a connection in spring practice, and it has carried into the first game. Latu, who stands at 6’5″ and weighs 250 pounds, has the size, athleticism, moves, routes, and hands to be a playmaker.

Latu had two catches for 34 yards and two scores. He is taking full advantage of this opportunity.
