Defensive lineman Malik Blocton of the 2024 class released his top schools on Monday. Alabama was listed as a finalist in his recruitment along with a variety of other SEC schools.
Blocton plays for Pike Road High School in Pike Road, Alabama. As a junior, Blocton tallied 54 tackles and six sacks for the Patriots. He was a part of a Patriots squad that won the Class 5A state championship in 2021. Blocton was also a teammate of current Alabama defensive lineman Khurtiss Perry.
Blocton’s brother, Marcus Harris, plays defensive tackle for Auburn. He included Auburn in his list of top schools. According to On3’s RPM, Blocton is also trending toward the Tigers at 52.5% likelihood.
Alabama has hosted Blocton for two unofficial visits, however. While the Tide may not be favored necessarily, there is still plenty of time to cover some ground in Blocton’s recruitment.
