Tasked with replacing a pair of starters at the position, there might not be a more important tight end on Alabama's 2025 football roster than Josh Cuevas. A returning name for the program, Cuevas enters year two in Tuscaloosa coming off a 2024 campaign in which the former Washington transfer, who followed head coach Kalen DeBoer to Tuscaloosa, primarily played a reserve role. Advertisement However, even despite being third on the depth chart, Cuevas still made an impact for Alabama in 2024, and looks to build on that production now in 2025. Here is everything you need to know about Alabama tight end Josh Cuevas entering the 2025 season.

This included a total of 16 receptions in a backup role, a number that is certain to rise in 2025 with Cuevas now firmly a focal point of the Crimson Tide's tight end unit.
