Reliable, physical safety who brings range, production, and special-teams value
Alijah Clark is a dependable, high-activity defensive back whose Syracuse career showed steady production and versatility: he was a full-time starter at safety, finished the 2024 season with 61 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, an interception, and 4 pass breakups, and piled up 187 career tackles across Syracuse and Rutgers[17][4]. His differentiators are physicality in run support, consistency as a tackler, and enough coverage instincts to create takeaways without freelancing[17][4]. He looks like a fit for a team that values tough, assignment-sound DB play over flash, and he has also shown enough value on special teams to raise his floor[10][11].
