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.

Jay Lindsey was the only scholarship tight end available for Alabama at the end of spring joined by preferred walk-ons Jayden Hobson and Peter Knudson.
