6-foot-7 4-Star TE puts Alabama in Top 5

Kaiden Prothro has Alabama football in his top five.

Prothro attends Bowdon High School in Bowdon, Georgia, and he is in the conversation to be a consensus five-stat recruit in the future. Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Texas rounded out his top five. 

The Crimson Tide have hosted Prothro several times, and he has a lot of respect for the program. 

“Bama is always going to be Bama football,” Prothro said. “They’re known for winning, known for getting after the opponent’s tail. I feel like Bama’s always just going to be a top contender in the SEC and just college football.”

The way the Tide use their tight ends in Kalen DeBoer’s first year stands out to the junior. 

“Coach was telling me that they don’t have no guys like me, just some in-line guys, who just go out and catch passes, but they can still run when they need guys to split out and just do their thing,” said Prothro. “I feel like what they are doing this year with their tight ends having a bunch of catches, just making plays, see myself out there just splitting out wide, just making even bigger catches and running the offense.”

The 6-foot-7, 210-pounder is a big target, who is difficult to bring down in space. He has experience lining up out wide and making plays similar to0 a wide receiver.
