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’s 2022 early enrollees include nine top 100 recruits

The season has come to an end and it is time to start shifting our focus to the team that will take the field in 2022.

Nick Saban and his staff had a fantastic early signing period back in December, and several of those prospects have already enrolled at the university.

Among those that have enrolled early, nine of the twelve are top 100 recruits according to the On3 consensus rankings.

Below is the complete list of early enrollees and their On3 consensus rankings.

5 takeaways from Alabama’s early signing day

5 early signing day takeaways for Alabama

Yesterday, Nick Saban and Alabama hauled in some of the top talent from around the country on early signing day.

Currently, the Tide sits with the second-ranked class in the nation according to On3.

Now that the dust has settled and we have had time to reflect on some of the events from a wild Wednesday, I thought we could take a few moments to look at some of the key takeaways from this steller class for the Crimson Tide.

Let’s get started!

Alabama’s top commits for the class of 2022

Let’s take a look at a few of Alabama’s top commits for the class of 2022.

With early signing day coming up tomorrow, I thought it was a good time to take a look at the current commitment lists and highlight some of the key additions Nick and Alabama will be making to its squad.

We will look at a handful of players from each side of the ball that I believe will be key contributors for the Tide down the road.

I also believe that all the players we will be looking at today are really solid to the Crimson Tide and will sign tomorrow.

Let’s roll!

Offensive players

  1. Ty Simpson, QB, 6’1″, 200, Martin, TN
  2. Emmanuel Henderson, RB, 6’1″, 185, Hatford, AL
  3. Kobe Prentice, WR, 5’10”, 175, Calera, AL

Defensive players

  1. Jeremiah Alexander, EDGE, 6’2″, 235, Alabaster, AL
  2. Shawn Murphy, LB, 6’3″, 211, Manasses, VA
  3. Jaheim Oatis, DL, 6’5″, 388, Columbia, MS

Now, I am clearly excited about the entire class of 2022, but these six players are really special and have a chance to make a significant impact in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama lands massive top 100 prospect in DT Jaheim Oatis

Alabama landed another big commitment for its 2022 recruiting class in four-star defensive tackle Jaheim Oatis.

Alabama continues to build a strong 2022 recruiting class. On Wednesday night, four-star defensive tackle Jaheim Oatis out of Columbia High School in Mississippi.

The 6-foot-4, 349-pound space eater took to his social media to announce the news. According to his tweet, it was a good day, and the only thing he had to say was Roll Tide — fans are going to absolutely love this guy, I’m sure.

According to 247Sports, Oatis is rated as the nation’s No. 82 overall prospect, No. 8 defensive tackle and No. 1 player from the state of Mississippi. The Composite Rankings have him slightly lower, checking in at No. 149 overall and the No. 17 defensive tackle.

Either way, this is a huge get for Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide.

He had offers from several other prominent programs, including top SEC schools such as Georgia, LSU and Texas A&M. After weighing his options, Oatis decided he wanted to rock the Crimson and White on the next level.

Alabama now has the No. 11 recruiting class (No. 4 in the SEC), according to 247Sports. There are a total of six current commitments, two five-stars and four four-stars.
