WATCH: Alabama DE/LB commit Cameron Latu scores on amazing kickoff return
It looks like Alabama is getting another freak athlete for its defense.
Cameron Latu is a weak-side defensive end/outside linebacker that looks incredible on film. Latu is listed at 6-foot-5 and 236 pounds, but he showed that he can move quite well on a recent kickoff return that went for a touchdown.
Latu is a four-star recruit and is listed by 247 Sports as the seventh best player at his position for the 2018 class.
Latu showed a nice initial burst on the kickoff return before finishing off the run with an impressive stiff arm of a would-be tackler. He will be headed to Alabama as a defender, and his speed should allow him to be a disruptive force with the Crimson Tide defense.
Here is a look at the kickoff return that Latu shared on his Twitter account:
