After reading Ale's background I can see one reason why coaches may consider him on defense. He is a golden gloves boxing champion.
An incredibly important (but seldom talked about) skill for a defensive lineman is hand fighting. Defensive linemen can have a great deal of success if they can keep the offensive linemen from getting their hands on them. It requires lightning quickness and the ability to deflect the other person's hands and arms.
NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long has talked about this, and so did another great defensive lineman from that era, Pierce Holt of the San Francisco 49ers.
Several defensive linemen take martial arts in the off-season just to learn hand fighting techniques and to increase their hand quickness.
Anyway, I have no idea what they will do with Ale, but his experience as a boxing champion is intriguing.

Kinda seems like Vakalahi to me. Since Malloe won't get Vakalahi, we might as well get Breasteffort and make Ale a strong as hell NT who's slow but immovable.

That's one of the acronyms I don't know. It always makes me think of lisfranc, the injury that cratered Ty's one almost mediocre season.

So you're saying boxing skills are good for push up the middle?

Are we supposed to pretend this dude doesn't still suck because he's a Dawg?
yeah, not looking good. hopefully he grey shirts
Enlighten us with your game film critique
From the 30 seconds I saw this year. I thought he would be blowing away the smaller guys he was going against. hopefully he puts up more film from this year. But he looked about the same as he was last year. So he still raw, giving him extra year to develop would not be bad. IMO
