ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Ali is a great D-Tackle prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. He is arguably the most athletic DT in the state with his speed, change of direction ability, hustle to pursue the football, and explosive burst once he zeros in on the target. He is lean and strong and can fight through double and triple teams with a relentless motor to the whistle. He causes a lot of disruption in the backfield and is able to locate the football while he is controlling blockers. He has decent hands off the snap but needs to improve here and add a couple more pass rush moves to his arsenal. Low Power 5 prospect.
