Three-star JUCO defensive end Jamar King signed with Alabama in February.

Alabama will welcome its last 2016 signee on campus next week, as three-star defensive end Jamar King tells BamaOnLine he's expecting to arrive in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday or Wednesday.

King, a product of Mendocino College (Ukiah, Calif.), has been finishing up summer courses and is -- according to BOL sources -- expected to qualify for the upcoming season after he wraps those classes up.

The Tide staff offered the 6-foot-5, 285-pounder last December, and quickly emerged as the team to beat against other suitors, notably Ohio State and UCF, as King has family in Tuscaloosa.

King, 27, recorded 53 tackles including 19.5 tackles for a loss and seven sacks last season.

The addition of King will be a welcome presence along the defensive line as four-star defensive tackle Kendell Jones was unable to qualify and went the junior college route.

King is rated the No. 4 strong-side defensive end and the No. 54 overall JUCO player in the 2016 cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite, an industry-generated average.
