High IQ on and off the field, good blocker, good size that will only fill out more at the next level, basketball player as well, will never give up on the ball coming his way. Check out his highlights, Bama got a complete TE and a very good one at that.
We need a few lunch pail type TEs to go with OJ. OJ is great but has not yet learned the art of blocking and the other side of playing TE other than receiving.
I love seeing us get a big, physical type TE. We haven't really utilized a TE properly since '09 with Peak. Hopefully this year we'll really ride Howard and set up the offense of the future to include Hale. Welcome aboard to him, this is one exciting pickup!!
From what I've read, he can be a H or a Y in Bama's offense. With Vogler graduating and Ty and OJ only on campus two more years, we'll probably take another TE in this class.
