Alabama junior defensive tackle Jehiem Oatis will redshirt this season and enter the NCAA transfer portal, he told ESPN.
Oatis started 13 games his first two years at Alabama and was a Top 40 overall recruit upon his arrival in the Class of 2022. He's considered a key member of the Crimson Tide defensive line rotation, as he's got rare size and athleticism at 6-foot-5 and 325 pounds.
Oatis' snaps decreased this season, and he said the reason for leaving is playing time. He played 25 combined snaps against Georgia and Wisconsin and averaged 16 snaps a game in the four games he's played this season.
