Alabama’s New Gritty Tight End | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s offense just got a physical upgrade with the addition of six-foot-six, 266-pound tight end Josh Ford, a transfer from Oklahoma State who’s ready to bring relentless aggression to the field. After his coach was fired early last season, Ford entered the transfer portal and chose Alabama — where he’s been praised by head coach Kalen DeBoer and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb for his energy and run-blocking potential. While Kaleb Edwards will handle most of the passing duties, Ford is set to anchor the run game as the “U” tight end — exactly what Alabama needs after losing starting TE Josh Cuevas. Ford’s love for hitting defenders and studying film of past Crimson Tide stars shows he’s serious about making an impact, and his physicality could be the missing piece in Alabama’s ground attack.
