Nick Saban believes Alabama’s tight end group has taken another step forward over the last few months.
The Crimson Tide added a veteran tight end to its roster during the off-season in CJ Dippre, who transferred from Maryland. They also return some talent in Amari Niblack, Robbie Ouzts and Miles Kitselman. Saban spoke highly of Niblack and Dippre during his Thursday press conference.
“The tight end group has made really good progress,” Saban said. “CJ (Dippre) has been a really good addition to that group. He’s got maturity. He’s got experience. He’s got size. He’s got good hands. He’s pretty good in the passing game. He’s a pretty decent blocker. Amari (Niblack) has really made a lot of improvement. He’s kind of a mismatch player a little bit in the passing game, which is a good thing. All the other guys are progressing nicely, as well. That group has come a long way, I think, over the spring and summer.”
