has continued to prove that he is one of the best players in the state this season. He continued his dominance during Cooper’s win over Southwestern last week. While Austin is mainly known for his impact on the defensive side of the ball, he was at his best on offense last week at tight end. He showed the ability to pose as a vertical threat in the passing game, catching three passes for 44 yards and two touchdowns. Alexander also continued to make an impact on defense at defensive end, finishing the game with one tackle and two fumble recoveries, returning one for a touchdown. Austin is committed to North Carolina where I can see him developing into a very productive player at the next level.

, a defensive lineman at Cooper High School. What impresses me about Alexander is how he can read the offense like a book, maneuver the pocket and quickly apply pressure on the quarterback. I also like Alexander’s ability to absorb pressure as well as utilize his arms to stun the offensive line, create disorganization and sack the gunslinger.
