Offensive tackle Elijah Pritchett is the latest prospect to commit to play for the Crimson Tide. The 4-star is ranked as the 94th best overall recruit for the Class of 2022. At 6’6”/280 lbs, he is a tall athletic offensive lineman with a long reach.
He has not put out a lot of senior highlight film but I did find some game film and I’m a huge fan. Big, athletic OL who is active. Still going to have to polish up some things as do most high school OL but just pure potentially physically I don’t think you are going to find many with as much or more upside. He’s not shy about it either. He will take a defender off the field and you can see him seeking out contact. There isn’t a lot of standing around. Which is always a great sign. I’m guessing we will see his stock rise ranking wise if/when he puts out senior film. ~ Tim Watts 247sports
The Columbus, GA resident seemed to be sold after he attended the Champions Cook Out in July while bonding with commits/super-recruiters Ty Simpson and Emmanuel Henderson.
Pritchett joins Tyler Booker and Dayne Shor in a class that might take only four O-linemen. Among other offensive linemen, Bama is considering are high 4-star Kentucky commit Kiyaunta Goodwin, 5-star Zach Rice, and 5-star Devon Campbell - the latter of whom will be on official visit this weekend.
Pritchett picked Alabama over Georgia, Southern Cal and FSU. Charles Kelly and Doug Marrone were his Bama recruiters.

Pritchett plays like he picked a 6 feet deep hole in the ground for the man in front of him and he'll make sure his guy goes in it

In fairness, the 'V' is right next to the 'C' on the keyboard

It’s not "couch/ coach" egregious
But it’s still sickening
