Alabama OT commit Elijah Pritchett is a ‘one-man wrecking crew’

Alabama football’s four-star offensive tackle commit, Elijah Pritchett is playing with a different level of intensity and attention to detail this season, according to Carver High School’s head football coach Corey Joyner.

Pritchett burst onto the recruiting scene in the spring of 2020, pulling in 14 D1 offers in four months. Pritchett’s offer list eventually grew to feature some of college football’s blue bloods, and the final battle for his verbal pledge included Alabama, Florida State, USC and Georgia. The Crimson Tide won out and got a commitment from Pritchett in September.

With his recruitment behind him, Pritchett has focused on making improvements on and off the field this season.
