Ex-UW signee Ale Kaho arrives at Alabama, practices for first time with Crimson Tide

Well, that didn’t take long.

Ale Kaho, the former five-star linebacker who signed with Washington last December, participated in his first practice as a member of the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday — just five days after Chris Petersen announced he had granted Kaho his release from UW.

Kaho’s arrival in Alabama contradicts a statement from his family that football was not an immediate priority for the linebacker.

Last week, Kaho had formally requested a release from his National Letter of Intent with Washington because of several family issues, one of his uncles said in an interview with the Seattle Times.
