Massive, versatile OL with SEC upside — now at Kentucky after Alabama development
In the 2025 season, Olaus Alinen was a 6-foot-6, 322-pound Alabama reserve who appeared in all 15 games, mostly on special teams, while logging 44 offensive snaps and showing tackle, guard, and jumbo-package versatility. He entered Alabama as a four-star prospect and one of the nation’s top offensive tackle recruits, with recruiters drawn to his size, reach, and developmental ceiling. The big differentiator: he brings rare international background, advanced frame to mold, and enough positional flexibility to help a line room in multiple roles. He’s a fit for teams wanting a projectable, physical OL with upside, not a polished day-one starter.
