Many had the Titans taking Joe Alt, an offensive tackle from the Notre Dame, but the franchise went with Latham. The 6-foot-6, 342-pounder is excited to be a Titan after three seasons with the Crimson Tide. He made first-team All-SEC in 2023 and helped Alabama to two Southeastern Conference Championships in 2021 and 2023.
Latham, a former five-star in the 2021 signing class, allowed four sacks across 26 starts at right tackle. He dominated on the right side, but he wants to show versatility in being a left tackle as well. Levis, a former University of Kentucky standout, is ready to work with Latham and expressed it via social media.
Let’s work, Trench King!!

Tennessee has to give Levis a chance to work out by keeping him up right. The decision to take Latham helps a lot.
