Early enrollee DL Jaheim Oatis claims to have lost some major weight

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.
