Alabama tight end Josh Ford is expected to emerge as a key contributor on the Tide’s offense in numerous ways this season. 

Ford originally transferred to Alabama this offseason after redshirting at Oklahoma State last year. The tight end is an excellent run blocker who can prove to be a dangerous weapon in the pass game as well, and Ford could emerge as a true Swiss army knife on the Tide’s offense moving forward.
