According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, former Alabama tight end Cameron Latu visited with the Dallas Cowboys and San Fransico 49ers this week.
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.
