Despite a slow start to the season, Alabama tight end Jahleel Billingsley has looked really good the last couple of weeks. Now in his third season, might he make the jump to the NFL after the season? It seems Nick Saban is taking no chances.
On Friday, Alabama received a commitment from the nation’s top ranked tight end Jaleel Skinner. The high 4-star plays for IMG but hails from Greer, South Carolina. Much like Billingsley, he plays the position as a flex TE/WR hybrid mismatch who can split out wide. At 6’5”/210 with an 80 inch wingspan, Skinner is about the same size Billingsley was as a recruit.
