Ali is a compact athlete who can pop a ball carrier with a big hit inside the box. He does a very good job of getting low and going cheek to cheek. Ali is very tough playing off the edge and does a good job of setting it using his quickness and strength. He shows solid speed in pursuit. Takes pretty good angles and just generally shows good instincts closing on a ball carrier and finishing the tackle. He had a strong junior year, and his production was very high. I really like what I”m seeing in man coverage, and though he doesn’t have a ton of film he shows good quickness and does a very good job of getting his head around on the football in coverage. Ali will be underrated by some schools due to his height being only 5’10”, but he seems like a strong player to have on the edge of a nickle based defense where he can get out to the sideline and make tackles but also help out against the run.
