Dalton, a Fyffe native, began his collegiate career at UAB. He spent his freshman and redshirt freshman seasons with the Blazers. Then the 6-5, 250-pound tight end transferred to Troy, where he spent the past two seasons.

Alabama has added a second tight end from the transfer portal in as many days as Troy transfer Brody Dalton announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide on Thursday evening following a commitment from West Virginia transfer Jack Sammarco on Wednesday.
