Tomorrow night, Sanderson High School will retire the jersey number of former NC State All-American defensive tackle Alim McNeill.
No Spartan will ever wear McNeill’s No. 29 again.
Coming out of high school, McNeill was a consensus four-star prospect. 247Sports ranked him as the No. 117 overall player nationally in the 2018 recruiting class, the No. 12 defensive tackle, and the No. 8 player in the state of North Carolina.
In three seasons of varsity football at Sanderson, McNeill compiled 215 total tackles, 45 tackles for loss, 18 sacks, two interceptions, five pass breakups, five forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries.
