Nick Saban and his Crimson Tide are off to a dominant start on the 2023 recruiting trail, and things continue to heat up with a commitment from four-star OT Olaus Alinen.
Alinen is a 6’6, 315-pound elite lineman from The Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, CT. He is the No. 14 offensive tackle in the class and was also heavily recruited by Ohio State, UGA and Miami. Alinen was also in Tuscaloosa the same weekend as the recent QB commit, Eli Holstein.
This was a key commitment for Alabama, as Alinen’s interest in the Crimson Tide had seemingly wavered, with predictions of him leaning toward Miami surfaced in the last few weeks.
He announced his commitment via Twitter.
