Alabama supporters respond to a former Washington tight end’s decision to transfer to the Crimson Tide.

Alabama experienced losses with Amari Niblack (Texas) and Miles Kitselman entering the NCAA transfer portal, but they welcomed back CJ Dippre, Danny Lewis Jr., Robbie Ouzts, and Ty Lockwood. Additionally, they secured commitments from Caleb Odom and Jay Lindsey in their 2024 freshman class.

In a notable move, the Crimson Tide added tight end Josh Cuevas from Washington via the transfer portal. Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Cuevas recorded four receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown in the 2023 season for the Huskies. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 239 pounds, he boasted an impressive average of 41 yards per catch, contributing to Washington’s Pac-12 Championship and their appearance in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
