Expert Analysis
Connor Jackson | Prep Redzone Scout
Alford is headed to Memphis, making him another Tiger signee to make this list. He is a long, raw athlete who projects best to RT or the interior. He drives his feet at contact, hustles to a spot, has long strides to occupy space, and is manipulative with his hands at the point of attack. What sticks out to me is his sheer violence. When he locks into his assignment, he finishes blocks through the dirt or escorts defenders to the bleachers. If he continues to play mean and adjusts to the speed of the college game, he will be hard to leave off the field.

Read EvaluationConnor Jackson | Prep Redzone Scout
Fleet athlete at 6’4 290 who played strictly RT as a junior. He carries his weight well and has plenty of room to add more mass. Surprisingly, he is a natural mover when he opens up his stride, proving efficient on pulls and as a lead blocker. Hand placement needs refinement, but he keeps his feet firing through contact to drive defenders off the ball. Overall, a solid athlete with good measurables and some physical upside present. He can easily surpass 300 pounds without sacrificing any movement skills. Alford has FBS offers under his belt and should add more this offseason.
