Alabama football has recruited and is developing its next All-American nose guard.
Nick Saban has coached two Consensus All-Americans (Terrence Cody, A’Shawn Robinson) and one Unanimous All-American (Quinnen Williams) nose tackle since 2008 at Alabama. He also produced first-round picks such as Williams, Marcell Dareus, and Da’Ron Payne as defensive tackles. The Crimson Tide has been a defensive force when it’s had an imposing presence in the middle. DJ Dale is a returning senior, but freshman Jaheim Oatis is the presence the Tide needs to have a top-five unit nationally.
Oatis, a four-star from Mississippi, has amazed everyone since his arrival.
