Alabama TE Cameron Latu rose to the occasion in his first career start

It’s been a long and strange road to playing time at Alabama for tight end Cameron Latu who made his first career start against Miami on Saturday.

The Salt Lake City, Utah native made the most of his first opportunity by catching three passes for 43 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Crimson Tide.

“Touchdowns felt great,” Latu said following the team’s 44-13 victory. “But it felt even better knowing that I helped my team gain a victory and I know we’re going to build off this week and get better for next week. And receivers played great and we’re just going to get better.
