Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 70.43 (Chance to start)

Pro Comparison: Nick Eubanks

Accolades:

  • 2021: Set Alabama record for touchdown catches by a tight end (eight)
  • 2021: Tied for seventh in the SEC for touchdown catches

Summary:

Cameron Latu was primarily used as a blocker in Tuscaloosa but emerged as a favorite target of quarterback Bryce Young. He has good length and soft hands in the pass game, but little production was a result. His breaks are slow developing. He is probably a blocker at the next level while afforded time to develop as a pass-catcher.

Strengths:

  • Blocks with good leverage
  • Does a good job of sealing run lanes
  • Good length
  • Soft hands
  • Does a good job of locking onto defenders in space

Weaknesses:

  • Limited pass-catching production
  • Breaks are slow developing
  • Can do a better job of adjusting his feet when engaged as a blocker
