Niblack, a unanimous four-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, came into the 247Sports Composite rankings out of Lakewood High School in Clearwater as the 99th best player in the country and the 5th best athlete. Niblack camp-ed in Tuscaloosa and received an offer among camps at Florida State and Georgia prior to rising in the rankings. After committing a few days later, Niblack soared to the top 100 nationally.
As a true freshman at Alabama, Niblack caught one pass for 15 yards and a touchdown in his lone start. Niblack had a breakout year in 2023, catching 20 passes for 327 yards and four touchdowns in four starts. In the game against Texas, Niblack caught two catches for 45 yards and a touchdown; he also made an outstanding catch and run over the middle that resulted in numerous broken tackles, as well as a 39-yard reception early in the fourth quarter that reduced the deficit to three points.
