Draft Profile: Bio
Jaheim Oatis from Columbia High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports.

He recorded 15 tackles, 11 assists, while adding 12 stops. As a pass rusher, he added 8 total pressures, which included 6 QB hurries, no QB hits, and 2 sacks on the season.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Surprisingly light on his feet and shows the ability to break down reasonably well to make the tackle in tight quarters against much smaller, quicker ballcarriers.
- Quick footed pass rusher with loose hips and good change of direction skills, moving very well for his size.
- Stays coordinated through contact and can anchor well in the run game, generating power from his lower half.
- Arguably his best skill due to an extraordinary burst off the snap. Explodes out of his stance, demonstrating a burst upfield to slip gaps and the lateral agility once past the line to chase down the quarterback.
- His motor is excellent, and he’s quick to locate the ball and make plays against the run.
- Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which Oatis uses with impressive precision.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Oatis struggles to shed blockers and doesn’t show ideal lateral movement skills. He also needs to make better use of his length and hands in the pass rush.
- Inconsistent in his ability to separate from blocks, however, making him more of a nuisance than a snap-to-snap terror.
- Oatis has to develop a counter move or two in the pass rush, and Oatis needs to make better use of his hands.
