by Jess Nicholas, TideFans.com Editor-in-Chief

This week, our 2025 Alabama Preview continues with a look at the wide receiver corps and also the tight end group.

For this week, we look not only at the three starting wide receiver positions, but also the tight end spot, which at times breaks down into two positions, the inline Y-tight end position, and the H-back spot, which is a hybrid tight end/fullback position.

Why do we have so many TE’s? Looking for a decent warm body to man the position? I mean we won’t run more than one on a regular basis, sometimes 2 in certain formations and 2 Y and a H in goalline/short yardage situations. No way they are all on scholarship.

The big freshman with ride receiver skills sounds like a sleeper to leapfrog up the DC, as JessN notes.

Our WR room is about to be "elite" again. May never get to the 4 horsemen level, but if it approaches it we are in great shape.

Bama QBs ought to be salivating over the opportunity to throw to these guys!

BTW, some have questioned if TS can be a one and done. I think all he needs to do is do the basics and get the ball out on time and accurately to these guys (which is the MO of Grubb/Deboars passing scheme) and he'll be catching NFL scout's eyes!

Not all is on scholarship. You're right. We'll see Lewis and Cuevas on the field together as Y and H at times.
