Olaus Alinen announced his commitment to Alabama football Friday.
Alinen is rated as a four-star recruit, according to Touchdown Alabama. He chose the Crimson Tide over Miami, Georgia, Ohio State and Oregon. The new Alabama commit is originally from Finland. He moved to the United States prior to his junior season, and he quickly became one of the nation’s top offensive lineman prospects.
The Tide offered the rising senior in November after he showed constant improvement during the 2021 football season. Alinen has made multiple trips to Tuscaloosa over the last several months. His last trip was in June when he officially visited.
