On a sunny but slightly cool Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Nick Saban and the Alabama football team participated in its second scrimmage of the 2022 spring. Once the scrimmage was wrapped up, the head coach took to the podium to speak with members of the media on the current state of the team as we are now just one week away from A-Day.

Here is what the head coach had to say.

Early enrollee DL Jaheim Oatis claims to have lost some major weight

If the talented early enrollee continues to lose weight, he could become a major factor along the defensive line.

One of the biggest signees, both potentially and physically, for the Tide in the class of 2022 was Mississippi native Jaheim Oatis. The four-star defensive lineman joined the Tide as an early enrollee in January and Nick Saban and the coaching staff immediately got the mammoth freshman on a strict diet.

According to Oatis, the diet is working extremely well. Oatis took to Twitter late Friday night to send a special thank you to the nutritionist, Amy Ellis, for helping him lose a total of 46-pounds over the past three months.

When Oatis arrived at Alabama he was most likely pushing the 400-pound mark. On Alabama’s official roster, Oatis is currently listed at 370-pounds.

If Oatis could get under 350, he would become a major problem for opposing offensive lineman.

Alabama Morning Drive: Spring football is almost here

Let’s get the weekend started with the latest news and notes surrounding the Alabama Crimson Tide!

Welcome to our first ever Friday edition of Alabama Morning Drive here at Roll Tide Wire. Hopefully, we can help get your weekend started off on the right note with the latest and greatest surrounding the Alabama Crimson Tide. Today we will look at Slade Bolden’s NFL combine performance, the Alabama football team’s spring practice schedule, and the updated roster.

Slade Bolden competes in 2022 NFL combine

Former Alabama wide receiver Slade Bolden worked out for NFL teams at the 2022 NFL combine on Thursday afternoon. The Louisiana native posted an official 40-time of 4.66 with a 32″ vertical jump and 116″ broad jump.

The most logical landing spot for Bolden would be a reunion with Mac Jones in New England as a late-round selection.

Jameson Williams and John Metchie participated in the weigh-ins but were not healthy enough to compete in the on-the-field activities.

Alabama football releases spring practice schedule

The 2021 season obviously did not end the way Alabama wanted it to with a loss in the national championship game. The 2022 team will now have an opportunity to start their revenge tour sooner rather than later.

On Thursday, the football team released its 2022 spring practice schedule and the team will hit the field starting on Friday, March 11. After just a singular practice, the team will receive 10 days off for spring break, before resuming on Monday, March 21.

Below is the complete practice schedule.

Friday, March 11
Monday, March 21
Wednesday, March 23
Friday, March 25
Saturday, March 26
Tuesday, March 29
Thursday, March 31
Saturday, April 2
Monday, April 4
Wednesday, April 6
Friday, April 8
Saturday, April 9
Tuesday, April 12
Thursday, April 14
Saturday, April 16 (A-Day)
