2016 tight end J.C. Chalk, the grandson of former head coach Gene Stallings, picked up an offer from Alabama this past Tuesday. Chalk, a three-star prospect, is currently committed to Clemson.

"It was a really big deal for me," Chalk said. "I was really excited about it. I talked to Coach (Nick) Saban he told me he liked how versatile I was and that I could split out and play receiver, but also that I could stay on the line and block."

Chalk remains a solid commit to Clemson, but understands the magnitude of the offer.

"I told Coach Saban I really appreciate the offer and am honored to receive it, but I'm still firm to Clemson," Chalk said. "The only way I could see myself going to another school is if all the Clemson coaches left, which I don't see happening."

Chalk, the nation's No. 20 rated tight end per the 247Sports Composite, is the tenth tight end offered for Alabama's 2016 class.

Chalk's grandfather, Gene Stallings, was the head coach at Alabama from 1990-96. He led the Tide to a 13-0 record on its way to a national championship versus Miami in the 1992 Sugar Bowl.
