veteran UTEP linebacker with steady, old-school grit
Aubrey Alexius brings a proven, reserve-linebacker profile to UTEP: in the 2011 season he played in 10 games and logged 18 tackles, plus a fumble recovery, tackle for loss, and quarterback hurry, after posting 19 tackles across all 13 games in the 2010 season. He was a two-way high school standout and team captain, which fits the vibe—smart, physical, and dependable rather than flashy. If you want a linebacker who understands leverage, special-teams value, and how to compete snap-to-snap, he’s the kind of lunch-pail defender coaches tend to trust.
