Jeremiah Alexander is Clemson’s high-upside, veteran glue piece at linebacker
Jeremiah Alexander enters the 2026 season as a disruptive, experienced Clemson linebacker who fits the “do your job and make it count” mold: in the 2025 season, he played 220 defensive snaps across 13 games, made 3 starts, and posted 33 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 3 pass breakups, and a fumble recovery[1][12]. Coaches have praised his work ethic and growth, and he’s been singled out as one of Clemson’s linebackers who “separated” in fall camp, which is a strong sign he can be trusted in heavier packages and situational football[1][3][12]. If you want a linebacker with SEC-tested pedigree, toughness, and a steady motor rather than flashy headline stats, he’s your kind of guy[1][8].
