Why hasn’t Jehiem Oatis played as much for Alabama football this season?

Jehiem Oatis has seen a smaller role this season than the past two seasons for Alabama football. Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack discussed why Monday.

Twenty defensive players have received more snaps than him this season, per Pro Football Focus. Oatis is seventh among Crimson Tide defensive linemen with LT Overton, Jah-Marien Latham, Tim Smith, Tim Keenan III, James Smith and Damon Payne Jr. ahead of him. Through four games, Oatis has received 68 snaps.

A season ago, Oatis was 15th among defensive players and fourth among defensive linemen. Only Justin Eboigbe, Keenan and Tim Smith received more snaps.Why has Oatis seen less playing time in defensive coordinator Kane Wommack’s system?“I think Jehiem, obviously coming from the offseason, coming off an injury, he’s still finding and hitting his stride, working to hit his stride,” Wommack said.
