is a special running back. His ability to make defenders miss is excellent. He also has the physical ability to break tackles from defenders. Alexander also has elite speed, and if he has an opening, he is off to the races. Alexander is in line for a big year for PCC, and I cannot wait to see how well he plays this year.
Sandpit workouts are different! Pushing my limits to be ready for this upcoming season with @PCC_FOOTBALL, @CoachLehmeier, and the Vike Squad. #RollVikes @theking1 @210ths @TazWillCo @wpialsportsnews @CoachLPorter @noel_devine7 @CoachIReed @Coach_Hud4 @_MoIbrahim… pic.twitter.com/sA1uKWqPvx

had an excellent season for PCC as a running back last year. His ability to read the play and then burst through the hole is excellent. He shows great patience as he waits for the hole to open up. Then he has excellent moves and bursts to make defenders miss. He is also a physical running back who is hard to bring down. Finally, he is also a home run threat who can score anytime he touches the ball. Alexander is a legit running back in the 2027 class.

is a bottle of lightning. When Alexander gets a single crease there’s a good chance he’s taking it to the house. Alexander has that menacing stance before he takes his hand off, but the most impressive thing about that is he goes from a 90-degree start and lowers his center of gravity immediately after the handoff. Alexander has good contact balance for his size. Alexander has the best first step burst I’ve seen. He is a real human joystick.

5’8, 171 pounds. 3.5 GPA. Is a track and field participant at Central Catholic. Debuted as a top ten sophomore back.
Question I want Answered: Will measurables hold back early recruiting opportunities?
It’s likely that I won’t leave the event with this question answered. Still, watching

up close after ranking him this well will give me insight on what his build really looks like. I’ll pay close attention to how he performs, as well as what his build looks like among other backs present. Regardless, I have a feeling Alexander will be a future producer at PCC.

is a good running back in the 2027 class for PCC, but he is stuck behind some talented running backs, so he got spot duty this past season. He does a good job of hitting the hole and making defenders miss. He shows good skills and is a patient runner who does an excellent job of waiting for the hole to open. He also has good speed, and when he gets into the open field, he is off to the races. Alexander is a good player who should get more playing time next year.

has limited film from Junior Varsity but flashed some serious big play ability. Alexander is a dynamic running back who can score every time he touches the ball. He has the electric ability to make people in space and then use his speed to make a big play. On one play in particular he caught a pass play, broke a tackle near the line of scrimmage, and then raced to the end zone. He also played defensive back and showed the same traits there as well. Alexander is a talented player who will eventually get on the field more for PCC over the next few years.
