Second-year player for Alabama has ‘best hands’ in Crimson Tide’s tight end room

He is in a developmental position, but Alabama football has a special player for the future at tight end.

Bryan Ellis, a former quarterback at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, was an offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and wide receivers coach at Western Kentucky (2019-21) and Georgia Southern (2022-23). The 35-year-old from Macon (Ga.) is now the Crimson Tide’s tight ends coach. Ellis has a talented room that needs to be involved in the passing game.

CJ Dippre is the leader in the room and Josh Cuevas will quickly show how talented he is, but the Tide has a second-year player that Ellis says has the ‘best hands’ in the room.
