Height: 6-1 / Weight: 228

Class: Junior

Hometown: Reno (Nev.)

High School: Reno High School

HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 133 overall / No. 7 ILB / No. 4 NV

HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / No. 82 overall / No. 8 ILB / No. 4 NV

Analysis: Alabama fans are still waiting for Ale Kaho to take the next step in his development and become the playmaking inside linebacker he was brought in to be. But while the wait continues, the Reno (Nev.) native has been an impact player on special teams.

His biggest play came on a blocked punt against Ole Miss during the 2019 season which resulted in Kaho coming away with a special teams touchdown.

There’s still work left to be done in regards to Kaho playing on the defense, as he tends to be a little too aggressive at times, but he still has a needed skillset that could translate into big-time production.
