Pike Road’s junior defensive lineman, Malik Blocton cut his recruitment down to 10 schools Monday.
Blocton is one of the most under rated prospects in the country with only a three-star rating across all major recruiting sites. However, his offer list does reflect the one of a big-time recruit with more than 30 offers. The Pike Road product’s top 10 is loaded with Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Oregon, Florida, South Carolina and Texas listed.

Blocton’s first cut to his recruitment comes after he was a standout at the Under Armour Atlanta camp. He listed a few teams were standing out to him after his impressive performance there in March.
“Alabama, Georgia, Auburn and Florida,” Blocton answered when asked which schools are recruiting him the hardest. “Clemson is a new school. They are recruiting me pretty hard too.”

Alabama’s coaching staff has been in contact with Blocton since offering him.
“It has been a good relationship,” said Blocton. “I just got on the phone with coach Roach a couple of days ago. He asked me questions about what I look for in a program. I told him somewhere I can go to the league, win championships and get developed as a player.”
At 6-foot-4 and 265 pounds, Blocton flashed with his power, his ability to get after the quarterback and by being hard to block during the 2022 football season.
