Former five-star linebacker Ale Kaho is reportedly heading to Alabama, according to 247 Sports.

Kaho was released from his letter of intent with Washington on Monday and could be headed to Tuscaloosa as early as Wednesday night, reports 247 Sports.

Peterson said on Monday that Kaho was granted his release because "he needs to be close to his family."

Kaho was the top inside linebacker in the class of 2018 according to 247 Sports, and the highest-ranking recruit Washington head coach Chris Petersen had ever landed in his 13-year coaching career, according to The Seattle Times.
