He recently graduated from Columbia High School and posted a photo on Twitter. Oatis, a four-star defensive lineman in this recent signing class, enrolled early for spring practice and looked impressive. The 6-foot-5 specimen has dropped significant weight since January, and Nick Saban told reporters “he is hard to block.” Oatis is looking forward to becoming a factor in the Crimson Tide’s rotation on its defensive front. He may become Alabama’s future nose tackle if he continues to progress.

Alabama fans are excited to see him earn playing time.
