Uncommitted four-star 2019 defensive tackle Siaki Ika is looking to schedule his remaining official visits, with Alabama, LSU, Ohio State and Oregon reportedly separating themselves from the field.
Ika (6'3/347), a former BYU commit, has already used one of his five official visits as USC hosted him in late June. According to Blair Angulo of 247Sports.com, indications have the Iron Bowl on Nov. 24 “tentatively circled” on the defensive tackle’s calendar. That could be a good sign for Alabama if Ika does indeed visit then, as he plans to sign during the early December window, with the defending champs viewed as a favorite to land his pledge. Per the report Ika, who’s ranked the 160th-best prospect in the 2019 class by 247Sports, may visit LSU officially in mid-October and Ohio State in early November.
