“Thank God for another blessing,” Caleb Tafua said in a post. “After a great conversation I am humbled and honored to announce that I have received an offer from the University of Alabama.”
Tafua is a four-star prospect according to 247 Sports. He is the #185 player in the 2026 class, the #10 tight end and the #24 player in the state of California. Here is what 247 Sports’ Greg Biggins said about Tafua in his scouting report:
“Late bloomer who has really made a nice jump as a prospect over the last year,” Biggins wrote. “Smooth pass catcher with strong hands. Probably more quick than fast but can make plays down the field and does a nice job tracking the football. Has the multi-sport background we like and is a former hooper/volleyball player and has a nice all around skill set to him. A willing blocker who has a nice edge to him and knows how to use his body to create separation. Lean frame but plenty of room to add good weight and should have no problem carrying 230-240 pounds or so at the college level. Runs well, good after the catch and is just scratching the surface of where we think his game will be in a few years as he gains size and strength.”
As one of the top TEs in the 2026 class, Tafua has a very impressive list of offers. Alabama has some stiff competition. The star TE currently holds offers from top schools like Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, USC, Utah and Washington. There are many other power four schools that have offered him as well.
