Coming out of Hazel Crest, 6’1, 165 lb. Marian Catholic defensive back Austin Alexander Austin Alexander 6'0" | 165 lbs | DB Marian Catholic | 2024 State IL has had an eventful recruiting process thus far. A one-time Wisconsin Badgers commit who verbaled to the Badgers on October 31st, Wisco was his only offer at that time, and since the season ended we really started to see some fireworks. Nebraska, USC, Northern Illinois, and Iowa State all offered while he was committed, and on January 25th the junior decommitted from the Badgers and reopened his recruitment. P5 programs definitely took notice, and since then Purdue, Michigan State, homestate Illinois, and Michigan all have offered up. It’s a bountiful list of suitors without a doubt, and you can see why after you check out the junior film. Alexander possesses great coverage skills and technique, with loose hips, clean breaks, ball skills, and the ability to play man coverage out of the slot or on the perimeter. I also love how he fights off blocks and lays strong cut tackles in run support, and is athleticism is on display as a returner and receiver, where he’s lightning quick with the ball in his hands and shows good speed as well. He’s one of those DBs that is always around the football, and his INT and PBU numbers from last fall speak to that fact. Alexander is one of the stickiest DBs in the state and the entire Midwest.
