Alabama junior defensive tackle Jehiem Oatis will redshirt this season and enter the NCAA transfer portal, he told ESPN.
Stephen A. Smith explains why he is so critical of Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer after the Crimson Tide's loss to Vanderbilt. Oatis started 13 games his first two years at Alabama and was a top 40 overall recruit upon his arrival in the Class of 2022. He's considered a key member of the Crimson Tide defensive line rotation, as he's got rare size and athleticism at 6-foot-5 and 325 pounds.
In a news conference Monday, Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack said that injuries had hampered Oatis and he has"not been able to perform or produce the way that any of us would like." Oatis said he did not play in the Vanderbilt game because he's dealing with a minor knee issue, which is not considered long-term. He's officially listed as playing in the participation report in the box score, but he told ESPN he didn't not play any snaps. He's not listed as taking any snaps by Pro Football Focus.
