Alexander spent the past two seasons with USC after starting his career with Georgia. He has appeared in 28 games with the Bulldogs and Trojans, including double-digit starts on the defensive line while in LA. However, he ended this last season early in appearing in just three first three before departing from ‘SC.

In those outings, Alexander has posted 61 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and four deflections with most of that coming during his sophomore season.

Per the current ratings in On3’s 2025 Top Transfer Portal Players, Alexander is the No. 1 DL and the No. 29 overall transfer.

That’s all after Alexander, a native of Denton, Texas, was a former four-star recruit out of IMG Academy in the 2022 cycle. That’s per the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He rated as the No. 43 overall player and the No. 7 DL.

When on the field with a program, Alexander has been impactful with a lot of pedigree there. One of those three in Oregon, Penn State, and SMU could now be who gets his commitment next based on this update from one of the top transfers on the defensive line.
