TE Cameron Latu, redshirt freshman
Latu, a former outside linebacker, spent the spring with the tight ends. But what initially looked like a spring experiment is now looking like a permanent move for the Salt Lake City, Utah, native. That’s because Alabama’s tight end depth is even thinner now than it was in April after the transfer of Kedrick James to SMU.
Miller Forristall will be the No. 1 option at the position, but Latu will have an opportunity to secure the second tight end spot following a productive spring. If he can continue to progress at tight end, the second-year player could claim a spot with the ones.

CB Josh Jobe, sophomore
Jobe ended the 2018-19 season playing with the first-team defense. He continued to do that in the spring, working at cornerback while Trevon Diggs and Patrick Surtain II split time at corner and Star. If Shyheim Carter lines up at safety, opposite Xavier McKinney, then Jobe will be on the field in UA’s nickel and dime formations. If it’s Carter in the slot and Jared Mayden at safety, then Jobe could join the fray in dime. Regardless, Saban views Jobe as a potential starter at corner.
“Josh Jobe has made a tremendous amount of improvement and has matured very nicely,” said Saban at SEC Media Days. “And we view him as a guy that is a potential starter and a guy that is playing in a way that, throughout the spring, that we have confidence that if he’s a starter, he can be very successful, and we can be very successful with him playing corner for us.”
