Expert Analysis

Will Helms

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

In arguably the closest battle for a No. 1 spot in any county positional ranking, Alston beats out two other surefire Power Four prospects. Not only has Alston’s production matched his hype, but we’ve heard that several college programs have been so impressed with the rising junior after campus visits that they’ve increased recruiting intensity because of his demeanor and leadership. Expect another massive season for one of the best players in the state.

Will Helms

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

It’s hard to find any prospect at any position in any class across the state who has had as meteoric of a recruiting rise as Alston has this offseason. He’s getting offers left and right from some of the top schools in the country. With above average size and quickness for the linebacker position, he’s the epitome of a modern off-ball backer, with elite coverage upside and the ability to stick his head inside and bang in the running game.
