A 3-star prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite, Aliciene is listed at 6-7, 255 pounds and projects at offensive tackle. He is a top-50 tackle nationally, according to 247Sports, and the No. 4 prospect in Connecticut. Aliciene had offers from Florida State, Maryland, Michigan State, Pitt and Rutgers, among others.
