Alabama’s 5 Biggest Recruits after National Signing Day

4. Major Tennison, Tight End

The Alabama Crimson Tide offensive staff has undergone some interesting changes in the past couple months. First, offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin left for Florida Atlantic to be their head coach. Then, his replacement, Steve Sarkisian left for the Atlanta Falcons for the same position. Many outlets are reported there were disagreements between the two after just one game as offensive coordinator.
It’s no secret the tight end position is Alabama’s key to success. With the departure of senior O.J. Howard , Nick Saban has found a possible predecessor in four-star prospect Major Tennison. Tennison is another early enrollee with the Crimson Tide. He ranks 309th in the nation, 9 at his position and is the 46th-best player out of Texas, according to 247Sports.

Tennison has good size at 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds. He originally committed to Texas before withdrawing his pledge last summer. After reopening his recruiting, he committed to Alabama in October and has since enrolled early. Saban playing a freshman isn’t completely of out of the picture, see quarterback Jaylen Hurts. With pressure on the offense to turn a corner, look for Tennison to play a role in the passing game.
