Ligon has made at least two trips to the Southside. The first visit came during the UAB spring game in April and the second visit most recently during the weekend of June 24th when the UAB coaching staff welcomed a group of top prospects to Birmingham. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ligon is a big-time addition for first year UAB offensive line coach Eddie Gordon. It is no secret that UAB prioritized Ligon as a top prospect in the 2024 recruiting class and that played a key factor in winning the recruiting battle against a trio of Sunbelt programs (Georgia Southern, Georgia State, and Troy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blazer Victory co-host and former UAB Blazers center, Darion Smith, provided the following evaluation of Ligon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>X&#8217;s and O&#8217;s with Darion Smith (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theyDREAD75\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">@theyDREAD75<\/a>)<\/p>\n<cite>Ligon has a high motor and rare athleticism for his size. It is easy to see why the coaching staff prioritized him.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>With Ligon&#8217;s commitment, UAB now sits at 7 commitments for the class of 2024:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
