2023 Senior Bowl Watchlist Scouting Notes: TE Cameron Latu, Alabama

Cameron Latu was mostly used as an inline tight end who was a blocker but offered possession-receiving abilities at Alabama. He’s developed tremendously over the 2021 season as a receiver. Latu has good size for the position, and is certainly strong enough to hold up as a blocker in the NFL, but lacks some of the athleticism he will need to be more than a TE2 at the next level.

Cameron Latu Scouting Notes

Pros:

  • Cameron Latu changes direction well in small increments. Won’t switch the direction that he’s running, but can make minor adjustments that work well. 
  • Very physical player. 
  • Latu has really come on this season as a possession-type receiver. Solid, reliable hands.
  • Flashes the ability to catch through contact. Really become strong in this area in 2021. 
  • Capable run blocker.

Cons:

  • Doesn’t have good speed. Barely adequate for the NFL level. 
  • Didn’t run a complex route tree at Alabama. 
  • Not a strong pass blocker. 
  • Missed the first few games of 2022 with an injury sustained in camp.
