Scouting Journals for Bear Alexander

Has an ideal frame for a zero technique with high-end initial quickness and flexibility. Will enroll with a college-ready body. Long arms for a 6-foot-3 interior prospect with 81-inch wingspan. Strength is in the phone booth at this point, but possesses the agility to pursue from hash mark to hash mark. Can be very physical at the point of attack. Owns heavy hands and has natural play strength. Creates a jolt on initial contact when his pads are low. Takes on and wins against double teams. Has missed significant portions of his high school career due to being ruled ineligible after multiple transfers. Was able to play during a state title run as a junior at Denton Ryan in Texas and was a dominant performer on a defense loaded with Power 5 prospects.

Georgia signee Bear Alexander had an enigmatic high school career. He bounced around several high schools and was ruled ineligible due to transfer rules for seemingly the majority of his four years. That’s all to say we were looking forward to seeing Alexander in this setting. He has more of a stocky, compact build and could project as a nose tackle long-term. Alexander was up-and-down in practices. He can be a boom or bust player with his initial jump off the ball playing a large part in his success or failure on a given play.
