Jaheim Oatis graduates high school in Mississippi, set to push for playing time at Alabama

One of Alabama’s potential defensive freshman studs is ready to be a collegiate athlete.

Jaheim Oatis, a native Mississippian, has completed high school.

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.
