ELIJAH CONLIFFE

Defensive tackle

6-4, 305 pounds

Hampton (Va.) High School

Conliffe, a four-star prospect, has been one of Tennessee’s top defensive-tackle targets for months, and while he hasn’t been to Knoxville recently, he’s planning to visit the Vols again this month before deciding on a school. Tennessee quietly seems to have positioned itself to be a legitimate contender for Conliffe. Alabama once was believed to be the team to beat for him, but the Crimson Tide now might not have a spot for him if they’re able to land everyone they want. Conliffe has discussed visiting both Tennessee and Alabama this month, and Penn State already has hosted him on an official visit.

I think LaBryan Ray and Aubrey Solomon are higher on Bama's board. Hard to tell where Conliffe is versus the other DLs (Jarez Parks, Phidarian Mathis) that Bama is recruiting. Parks is more suited to the hybrid DE/OLB "Jack" position, but sometimes those recruits "grow" into DEs.

Conliffe recently at a camp game was asked if he was ready to make a decision on where he wants to go to college. Conliffe replied to the reporter from ESPN by saying "not yet, I've still got visits to take." The reporter asked if he had a lists of favorite schools & Conliffe replied "yes sir I do & I will share those with you. The 6 top schools in no order right now before I make more visits are Florida, Bama, Penn State, UT, Ole Miss, & Miami."

-Per ESPN Insider

Looks like we have a solid shot at this recruit if we really want him. Especially going by what Lynx posted a couple of posts above mine.

I'd say he comes to us, because Bama won't accept his commitment right now due to who they are trying to close with. Puts us in a pretty good situation, plus we got Crosby also from VA.

Big kid. Would love to add him to the class. When is scheduled to OV to UT?

I think Alabama has to miss on some guys for him to end up with the Tide. I think Penn State is a school to watch. But he visited there already which means he will see the Vols closer to his announcement date.

Must be nice to be Bama but this would be a very good consolation prize. As I said the other day, there was a time before Bama seemed to get involved heavily where PSU was thought to be almost a sure thing. Nice turn of events.

It sounds like he is trying to do solid evaluations of his "finalists." He may just be holding out to see what Bama will do. It sounds like we have a shot, though, and he would go a long way towards helping out this class.

DT Elijah Conliffe
Hampton (Va.) defensive tackle Elijah Conliffe is a new name on Florida’s board. Tennessee is the school getting most of the buzz now, but the Gators certainly could make a move with the 6-foot-4, 305-pound prospect having a desire to play in the South. At last check, Conliffe still did not have his January visit plans laid out, but the Vols and Gators are good bets to get him on campus.

Prediction: Tennessee
