Overview

  • ESPN’s Pete Thamel and On3’s Pete Nakos reported the commitment on January 5–6, confirming Oatis’ move.
  • Oatis played at Alabama from 2022 to 2024 before spending 2025 at Colorado, where he recorded nine tackles in 11 games.
  • As a true freshman at Alabama he logged a career-high 29 tackles with two tackles for loss and a sack, then added 26 tackles as a sophomore.
  • The move reunites him with coach Pete Golding, whose system Oatis learned at Alabama, and he is expected to contribute as a rotational interior lineman.
  • Ole Miss views the addition as experienced depth as Golding builds his first roster as head coach during the Rebels’ College Football Playoff push.
