Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
The longer I watch through his highlights the more I think that Alex is a gamer on Friday nights. He just finds ways to make plays at RB and LB. At 5’9″ 190 lbs he is undersized for a typical LB, but this kid is all over the front seven. He is strong while blitzing, powering through gaps and OL into the backfield. On offense that thick frame has proven to be sturdy through traffic. His footwork through traffic in the trenches also flashes over and over as he cuts and weaves through alleys and around defenders trying to meet him 1 on 1 in the hole. The 2027 is able to consistently find ways to impact the game.

I was impressed with what I saw from the sophomore tape out of Alex. The 5’9″ 190 lbs athlete shines on tape with his strength and physicality while playing RB and LB. On offense we see Alex getting north-south and at most being a one-cut runner who is looking to get up field as soon as he can. He also has the mentality that he won’t hesitate to try and run through a defender to get the yards he needs. His frame comes with a low center of gravity, a trait that helps him in his tackling on defense too. Alex is also a high motor player highlighted by his impact on both sides of the ball and his ability to make the effort play downfield.
