Alijah Carnell Alijah Carnell 6'5" | 290 lbs | DL Bishop Gorman | 2024 State NV is a dominant defensive tackle for Bishop Gorman. Alijah currently holds eight division one offers. He also has visited multiple PAC12 schools, so expect Alijah to continue being one of the heaviest recruited defensive tackles this fall.

Alijah shows a rare combination of speed and power knocking back blockers off the snap and closing on ball carriers immediately behind the line of scrimmage. Great size, football IQ, and a strong base give Alijah the potential to play either nose tackle or three technique in college. Good flexibility, length, and explosive lateral quickness allow Alijah to be more than an interior power rusher at the next level.
