Ijaaz Abdul-Malik Ijaaz Abdul-Malik 6'2" | 205 lbs | ATH Episcopal Academy | 2024 State PA is an elite athlete who made plays on defense for Episcopal Academy. He played both as a stand-out defense end and as a linebacker. At both positions, he flashed elite athleticism. He showed an ability to make plays all over the field. At the stand-up defensive end he did a nice job of keeping contain and going upfield and making plays. He was good at knocking down balls and creating pressure. As linebacker, he does a good job of running sideline-to-sideline to make plays. Abdul-Malik is a raw elite but he belongs to a College Football program that can unleash his potential.

Promising build, a good 210. Good worker in the weight room from what I can tell. Eval will be based on his mid-season and 6-8 week tapes. Also saw him live against Roman earlier in the year. Capable of manning the middle of the defense, has an interception dropping in coverage while aligned pre-snap at Mike. Next rep he’s aligned at OLB ready to rush the passer. Has the build suitable to station at either position. Has reps playing in the A-B gaps, disrupting, shooting gaps, blitzing. Abdul-Malik is a front-seven piece that colleges can get creative with. Creativity in terms of pre-snap alignment, as well as creativity off-the-field. In which direction might a suitor push him toward? More weight, staying slim, both are options. Should be getting calls right about now.

I mention this young man to coaches recruiting the Inter-Ac and many haven’t heard of him. That’s got to change. Ijaaz Abdul-Malik Ijaaz Abdul-Malik 6'2" | 205 lbs | ATH Episcopal Academy | 2024 State PA , a true 6’2, 205-pound do-it-all prospect out of Episcopal Academy, is primed to break out this coming Fall. I imagine he’s wowing in camps, even if he isn’t, IAM is on my list of candidates to up their stock early this Fall. I’m expecting his production to shoot through the roof. Boasts a 3.7 GPA, while conveying quality reps at WR and LB. Projects as a promising LB. Currently unoffered.

Ijaaz Abdul-Malik Ijaaz Abdul-Malik 6'2" | 205 lbs | ATH Episcopal Academy | 2024 State PA has only posted his midseason tape thus far, yet I was able to catch some of his play in person against Germantown Academy earlier in the season. Here’s an OLB that is tough to block at the second level. Good angles to the BC, combined with a great physical frame makes him a tough matchup for most linemen. Long arms allow him to shed blocks easily. Hard hitter that likes to bring his pads when tackling. Can provide WR reps if need be. Abdul-Malik holds real value on special teams too. College coaches will fall in love with this kid’s skillset.
