New Caney (Texas) four-star cornerback CJ Blocker is visiting Alabama this weekend for the Crimson Tide’s rivalry game against Auburn. He announced the news hours after backing off his pledge to Utah.
Blocker is the No. 450 overall prospect and No. 46 cornerback in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 72 player in Texas.
On3 rates Blocker higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2023 On300, he is the No. 298 overall prospect, No. 35 cornerback and No. 52 player in Texas.
Alabama will not be Blocker’s only visit in the next few weeks. He is also taking officials to TCU and USC before making his decision, according to On3’s Sam Spiegelman.
