Florence (Ala.) five-star cornerback Jahlil Hurley is known for his play in the secondary. But on Friday night against Madison (Ala.) Bob Jones, the Alabama commit sealed the game on special teams.

Hurley blocked a field goal to give Florence a 38-35 win. The 6-foot-2, 180 pound defensive back came off the right edge to deflect the kick.

Hurley is the No. 28 overall prospect and No. 2 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. 4 player in Alabama.

The five-star committed to the Crimson Tide on Feb. 22. Hurley is one of four five-star recruits in the Crimson Tide’s 2023 recruiting class, which ranks No. 1 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings.

He has an On3 NIL Valuation of $238K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Jahlil Hurley On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Jahlil Hurley:

“Taller cornerback with high-end coordination and ball skills. Does not have verified measurements, but looks to be well over 6-feet tall with a lean build and length for the position. Primarily played at corner as a sophomore prior to moving around much more as a junior. Advanced as a ball tracker at corner with the ability to turn and locate the ball in coverage. An instinctual defender who sees things quickly. Also lined up at safety, receiver and even took some direct snaps as a junior.

“Does not give up many catches in coverage over the course of his sophomore and junior seasons. Will need to continue adding size. Does not have verified athletic markers as he enters his senior season. Looks to have adequate to good play speed but can continue improving his top end speed. Will also need to continue adding strength and size.”
