Zion Elee recently announced his top five schools.
Elee is a 2026 five-star recruit and is one of the top edge prospects in his respective class. The rising junior is set to play the 2024 football season at national powerhouse, St. Frances Academy. He has Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State in his top five.
The Crimson Tide offered the five-star in April.
“It means a lot one of the best schools in the country wants me,” Elee told Toucheown Alabama after earning the offer. “Based on what I know, I am sure they are a really hard-working team, and they take care of all their players.”
The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder possesses prototypical size and length for a future edge defender. He flashes a quick get-off at the line of scrimmage and impressive backside pursuit when he is getting after ball carries. He also shows an ability to use his length to his advantage in a variety of ways, including to keep offensive linemen out of his chest and to tip balls once quarterbacks release a pass.
