Alabama football lands tight end Josh Cuevas from Washington via the transfer portal
Alabama football has added another Washington player via the transfer portal.
Josh Cuevas, a tight end, announced Monday night he's transferring to the Crimson Tide to play for Kalen DeBoer again. Cuevas becomes the latest Washington transfer to head to Tuscaloosa, joining quarterback Austin Mack, receiver Germie Bernard and center Parker Brailsford.
Cuevas has two years of eligibility remaining.
Cuevas was also the second player Monday night to make known he's transferring to Alabama; Michigan safety Keon Sabb is also making the transfer to the Crimson Tide. The tight end and safety faced each other in the College Football Playoff championship game this past January.
Cuevas caught four passes for 164 yards and one touchdown this past season, his first with Washington. He's a 6-foot-3, 239-pound tight end who previously played for Cal Poly from 2021 to 2022. At the FCS level, Cuevas ended up a third-team All-Big Sky selection in 2022 after catching 57 passes for 622 yards and six touchdowns.
