LSU DB Zy Alexander declares for NFL Draft, shares thanks for Tigers opportunity
LSU cornerback Zy Alexander shared his gratitude Saturday for opportunities at two home-state universities as he publicly declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Loreauville native was a mainstay in the Tigers’ secondary the past two seasons after beginning his college career at Southeastern Louisiana for three seasons.
“I am grateful to God,” Alexander wrote. “Thank you for blessing me with strength, perseverance and the opportunity to pursue this journey. I give all glory to you. To all my coaches, trainers and teammates at both Southeastern and LSU, thank you for continuously pushing me to be the best version of myself, on and off the field. your guidance has shaped me not only as a player but also as a man.
“Growing up in Loreauville, Louisiana, I have always taken pride in being born and raised in The Boot. It has been an honor to represent Louisiana and play for LSU in front of the greatest fans in the world. Last but not least, my family. I would not be here without all the love and support you’ve shown me since the beginning. Thank you for believing in me, and I hope to continue to make you all proud. Shabba, I know you are watching over me every step of the way. This is for you!”
