Dion Nelson Jr. brings proven red-zone production to Alabama A&M's tight end room
Nelson arrives at Alabama A&M with a track record of impact at tight end: in 2022, he earned All-OVC First Team honors and Freshman All-American recognition after leading OVC tight ends in receiving yards and touchdowns, then followed with 12 catches, 135 yards, and four TDs in 2024. At 6-5, 230, he profiles as a big-bodied target with reliable scoring instincts and enough versatility to be a matchup piece rather than just a blocker. The fit is strongest for a team that wants a physical, proven, red-zone threat who has already produced in winning football.
