Jahleel Billingsley committed to Alabama on Friday and became the Tide’s first tight end commit in the 2019 recruiting class. Alabama wants to add two tight ends this class, according to sources. This number is in large part due to the fact that the Tide landed only one tight end during the last recruiting cycle, which was 3-Star, Michael Parker.
Alabama currently has six tight ends on their roster. Hale Henges is the only senior tight end, meaning that there will not be any pressure to play early for the tight ends Alabama pulls in this recruiting cycle.
