Jehiem Oatis has been with Alabama football the past three seasons.
, a veteran Alabama football defensive lineman, will redshirt the rest of this season and plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, his agents Noah Reisenfeld and Adie von Gontard of Young Money APAA Sports tell AL.com.
Limited opportunity this season was the reason his agency cited for his decision. Oatis has seen a reduced role under the new Alabama coaching staff. He was a top-four snap recipient on the defensive line the past two seasons. That changed this season with several defensive linemen playing ahead of him.“Felt like it was going that way,” Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said. “I think the thing you also have to understand is there’s other elements to this, right. There’s health elements.
Oatis is a junior defensive lineman from Columbia, Mississippi. He tallied 29 tackles and one sack as a freshman in 2022. He then had 26 tackles and 0.5 sacks as a sophomore. This season, Oatis tallied two tackles. Before the Vanderbilt game, Oatis was seventh among Crimson Tide defensive linemen in snaps this season with LT Overton, Jah-Marien Latham, Tim Smith, Tim Keenan III, James Smith and Damon Payne Jr. all ahead of him in snaps.We move forward with the guys that really are able to help us win and focused on our program,” DeBoer said. “As we go through this, I don’t want to put finality to it, but you’re always going to want what’s best for all people, and Jehiem’s one of them.
