Alabama TE Cameron Latu had visits this week with the #Cowboys and #49ers, per sources. The Crimson Tide’s all-time record holder for receiving TDs by a tight end, Latu is a name to watch as the draft approaches.

Latu arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2018 as a highly-ranked four-star linebacker but made the switch to the tight end position after two seasons. In 2021 he became a security blanket for quarterback Bryce Young, catching eight touchdowns for 410 yards. He finished his college career with 787 yards and 12 touchdowns and is projected to be a mid-round pick for the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft.
The Cowboys lost starting tight end, Dalton Schultz to the Houston Texans in free agency and don’t currently have a proven player at the position, as for the 49ers they still have four-time pro bowler George Kittle in his prime. Latu had a strong showing at the Reese’s Senior Bowl but missed the NFL Combine due to a hamstring injury. Regardless of where he is drafted, he will likely see the field in some capacity over the next couple of years.
