Finally, Alabama gets some defensive help. 

Ale Kaho, a former blue-chip recruit who signed with Washington as part of the 2018 class, is transferring to Alabama, according to 247Sports. Adam Jude of the Seattle Times later confirmed that Kaho was headed to Tuscaloosa, but the school has not yet commented on the addition. 

Kaho was given a full release from his National Letter of Intent this week from coach Chris Petersen, who cited personal reasons for Kaho's departure. Although Kaho signed with the Huskies, he did not enroll. 

Kaho was a four-star member of the 2018 class, per 247Sports' Composite rankings, and strongly entertained Alabama during his recruitment. The Reno, Nevada native was also previously committed to BYU. Aaron Suttles of The Athletic reports that Kaho will be eligible to play immediately for the Crimson Tide, adding even more depth to the already deep squad.
