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.
Just wanna give my nutritionist Ms Amy Ellis a huge THANK YOU for helping me the last 3 months I’m NOW 46lbs lighter and I'm not done yet 💪🏾😈🏈!!!! #RollTide #weightloss #BigJah

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.
