Alabama lands Maryland transfer TE CJ Dippre
On Tuesday, Alabama landed a commitment from Maryland transfer tight end CJ Dippre. He chose the Tide over Ohio State.
The Pennsylvania native took an official visit several weekends ago to Tuscaloosa. He then visited Columbus to check out the Buckeyes. In the end, Alabama was able to win a much-needed recruiting battle for Dippre. With starting tight end Cam Latu possibly leaving for the NFL, his commitment could be more crucial for the Tide.
In two seasons in College Park, Dippre hauled in 33 receptions for 339 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
It is unclear how the Alabama coaching staff plans to utilize Dippre in their offense. However, he could prove to be very vital to the Tide’s offensive success next season. He is a reliable, big-bodied tight end at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds. Dippre is another big-time player added to an already star-studded roster for whoever Alabama’s next offensive coordinator is.
