Alabama has a spot left to fill for the 2016 class, and a junior college defensive lineman could fill it.

Josiah Coatney, a 6-foot-5, 285-pound defensive end from Holmes County (Miss.) Community College, told AL.com that his official visit with Alabama would start "Saturday or Sunday."

Josiah Coatney

Alabama is one of several SEC schools who have offered Coatney. He's on an official visit to Florida right now and has been to Ole Miss, South Carolina and Texas A&M.

Coatney took an unofficial visit to Alabama two weeks ago with teammate Jordan Colbert, a former Auburn defensive back. At the time, Colbert said he was just tagging along with Coatney.

Coatney does not have a JUCO star rating. He was a three-star recruit coming out of high school in Douglasville, Ga.

Coatney has a much better chance of being added to Alabama's 2016 class than five-star receiver Demetris Robertson.

The Savannah, Ga., native did not sign on National Signing Day. According to 247Sports, Alabama is not in the running for his signature anymore, and it looks like it's down to Georgia, Notre Dame and California.

** Alabama's A-Day game is next weekend, so the visitor list will be much higher. Mannie Netherly, a four-star receiver from Crosby, Texas, is making a visit to Alabama this weekend. He is committed to Texas A&M.

Florida State linebacker commit VanDarius Cowan, a four-star recruit from Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., is also visiting Alabama this weekend.

Tua Tagovailoa, a four-star quarterback from Hawaii, is in Tuscaloosa today and is visiting Ole Miss and Auburn this weekend.
