The fifth in a nine-part series examines the team's offensive line.

Projected depth chart:

TE: Hale Hentges, Major Tennison OR Kedrick James

TE/H: Irv Smith Jr., Miller Forristall

New arrivals: None

Due to arrive in the fall: Michael Parker

Outlook:

When Brian Daboll joined Alabama as the team's play-caller last offseason, his arrival signaled that the tight ends would wield more influence in the offense.
