Alabama has a tight end prepared to run it back with Kalen DeBoer for next season.

Amari Niblack and Miles Kitselman are gone, but CJ Dippre has remained for the Crimson Tide. A transfer from Maryland, he embraced the culture of Tuscaloosa (Ala.) last season and helped Alabama capture a Southeastern Conference Championship.

Dippre assisted the Tide to return to the College Football Playoff.

He finished with 11 catches for 187 yards; however, Dippre has an opportunity to do more next fall. He shared a message to social media that read, "If you are not going up against the odds, what are you doing right? RmfT #rolltide."
