Alabama football’s tight end draft hopeful, CJ Dippre is looking to show there is more to his game at the next level. 

Dippre spent two seasons with the Crimson Tide after transferring from Maryland. He pulled in 32 receptions for 443 yards during his time with the Tide. He has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft and is set to participate in the Senior Bowl in February. 

The Pennsylvania native did an interview with the Draft Network ahead of the Senior Bowl and shared he is looking forward to displaying more of his abilities at the tight-end position. 

“I want to prove that I have a skill set that hasn’t really been showcased to its full capabilities,” Dippre said in the interview. 

Dippre went on to say he feels there is untapped potential within his game.

“I’m obviously looking forward to showcasing my skill set more than I have at Alabama over the past two seasons,” Dippre told the Draft Network. “I think there’s some untapped potential with my game. I’m also looking forward to competing with some of the top seniors in the country.”

The Maryland transfer will participate in the Senior Bowl in February.
