Alabama’s football program continues to strengthen its tight end roster with recent commitments from top prospects. In July 2024, Kaleb Edwards, a four-star tight end from Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills, California, committed to the Crimson Tide. Edwards, standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 235 pounds, was impressed by Alabama’s culture and the coaching staff’s emphasis on hard work and player development.
Additionally, in October 2024, Marshall Pritchett, another highly regarded tight end in the 2025 class, flipped his commitment to Alabama. Pritchett had previously visited Alabama in March and took his official visit in June, which played a significant role in his decision to join the Crimson Tide.
These commitments come as Alabama’s new head coach, Kalen DeBoer, implements an Air Raid offense that, while highlighting wide receivers, also places a strong emphasis on the utilization of tight ends. The tight end position is expected to play a vital role in Alabama’s diverse and dynamic offensive schemes for the 2024 season.
The addition of Edwards and Pritchett is anticipated to enhance Alabama’s offensive capabilities, providing the team with versatile options in both the passing and running games. Their decisions to commit to Alabama underscore the program’s continued appeal to top-tier talent nationwide.
