BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded All-Conference and All-American honors as a senior. Totals last year were 117/14/2, with three interceptions. Junior numbers included 102/17/5, when he broke up nine passes.

POSITIVES: Athletic, playmaking linebacker best suited for a one-gap system. Instinctive, displays good awareness and remains disciplined with assignments. Quickly fills gaps up the field, gets depth on drops and covers a lot of area in space.

NEGATIVES: Can be slowed at the point by blocks or swallowed up altogether by opponents. Has shown a propensity to take plays off in the past.

ANALYSIS: A very productive defender the past three seasons, Alexander offers potential on the weak side in a system that allows him to freely flow to the play.

PROJECTION: Middle Fifth Round
