Cameron Latu is a preseason candidate for John Mackey Award

He got recruited to the University of Alabama as an outside linebacker, but Cameron Latu has grown into an offensive playmaker at tight end.

Latu started to pop in the spring of 2021 and recorded a good season.

He finished fifth on the team in receptions (26) and totaled 410 yards receiving with eight touchdowns.

Latu set a single-season school record for most touchdowns by a tight end in Crimson Tide history. The 6-foot-5, 244-pounder returned to the Tide for an opportunity to win a College Football Playoff National Championship and increase his value for the 2023 NFL Draft.
