The PrepStar all-region choice is ranked among the top 20 prep running back recruits in the country by rivals.com. Clocked with a 40 time of 4.4, also is considered among the top 22 recruits out of North Carolina. The Metro Conference 4A state offensive player of the year rushed for 2,133 yards and 24 touchdowns his senior year, in addition to returning a pair of punts for scores. Included was a 92-yard punt return for a TD for the Pirates, who finished 2005 with a 5-6 ledger and a first-round state playoff appearance. The speedster proved to be the source for much of his team’s success last fall after Page High School suffered through an 0-10 slate in 2004. Be it a coincidence or not, Alston’s play was limited his junior year due to a knee injury. Yet he rounded to complete his prep career as the No. 5 all-time rusher in school history, racking up 4,057 yards (6.6 per carry average) and 32 touchdowns. The three-time all-conference selection was named to last fall’s all-area team by the (Greensboro) News & Record. He began his high school career by rushing for 902 yards and four touchdowns on only 144 carries (6.3 avg.) as a sophomore in 2003.
