2023 Alabama Spring Football Preview: Tight Ends Back in Play

Alabama comes into the 2023 spring camp with many unknowns on offense. Chief among them are who will be the starting quarterback and what kind of offense will new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees run? Many observers believe Nick Saban will move back to more of a classic I formation smashmouth football that is identified with his early Alabama era. Others think he will stick with the QB run-game-centric system that utilizes RPOs. The answer to what kind of offense the Tide will run is probably a combination of both of these strategies. If Notre Dame’s last two seasons are any indication, Rees will bring in a passing scheme that actually acknowledges the existence of a tight end as an offensive threat.
