Niblack failed to find much playing time in 2024 behind the record-breaking season put together by Gunnar Helm and because of Juan Davis’ emergence as TE2. Niblack appeared in nine games during his time on the 40 Acres.
A product of St. Petersburg (Fla.) Lakewood, Niblack started five games and made 24 career appearances for the Alabama Crimson Tide. He even caught a touchdown pass against Texas during the Longhorns’ 2023 game at Alabama, a game Texas won 34-24. As a member of the Crimson Tide for two seasons, Niblack caught 21 passes for 342 yards and five touchdowns.
Part of the Crimson Tide’s 2021 recruiting class, Niblack was ranked as the No. 89 overall prospect, the No. 3 tight end, and the No. 14 player in Florida in the 2021 On3 Industry Ranking.
