Nick Saban picks up a huge verbal commitment at a position of need.
Despite having some talent at tight end, Alabama could use more depth and experience and Wednesday provided it with both. Carl Tucker, a graduate transfer from North Carolina, announced via Twitter that he’s committed to the Crimson Tide.
A native of Concord, N.C., Tucker visited the University of Alabama and enjoyed himself.
Listed at 6-foot-2 and 248 pounds, he gives the Tide a physical presence on third down and an option in the red zone.
Once a three-star prospect, Tucker totaled 36 catches for 549 yards with four touchdowns in three seasons with the Tar Heels.
