Alabama freshman DL Jaheim Oatis shares his performance from spring scrimmage

Could an early enrollee see valuable reps on Alabama’s defensive line in the fall?

Jaheim Oatis is making a case for playing time at defensive tackle.

He arrived as a January enrollee in the Crimson Tide’s 2022 signing class as a four-star.

Oatis, a native of Columbia, Miss., was a dominant player at Columbia High School. The 6-foot-4 specimen came to Tuscaloosa at 370 pounds, but he’s dropped 46 pounds in three months. Oatis stood out in Alabama’s first scrimmage of spring practice, and he shared his results on social media. Credible sources confirmed to Touchdown Alabama Magazine on Oatis’ performance over the weekend at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
