Many fans of the Crimson Tide expect him to have a breakout season, especially as a red-zone target. The 6-foot-4, 233-pounder was an explosive wide receiver/tight end hybrid in high school, but he’s improved as a blocker. Niblack impressed coaches, teammates, and fans in Alabama’s spring game as Joe Cox, the Crimson Tide’s tight ends coach, is ready to turn him loose.

Niblack recently cashed in on his name, image, and likeness by inking a NIL opportunity.

His comes through Grady Sports Agency (GSA) which has been around since 2017. GSA is looking forward to building Niblack’s brand in Tuscaloosa and across the country. He shared this opportunity on his Instagram as he prepares for the fall.
