Offensive Name to Know – TE Amari Niblack

While not the highest-rated of Alabama’s commits on the offensive side of the ball, Niblack has the potential to be a true difference maker for what is already a loaded Crimson Tide offense in 2022.

A four-star prospect out of Lakewood High School in Florida, Niblack was rated as one of the top athletes in the entire country during the last recruiting cycle. At 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, the incoming freshman saw time at both wide receiver and tight end during his high school career, and is capable of lining up both outside and on the line of scrimmage.

While not on campus yet in Tuscaloosa, Niblack will instantly become one of the top pass-catching tight ends on the Crimson Tide’s roster when he arrives, even with Cameron Latu returning to Alabama next season.

A player who could easily make a key impact for the Crimson Tide next season, Niblack is certainly a name to know. No, he won’t necessarily lead the Crimson Tide in receiving, but don’t be surprised if Niblack makes a significant impact from day one.
