versatile, defense-first TE still searching for a breakout receiving role
Alexander is a 6-foot-2, 222-pound redshirt junior at Middle Tennessee who has earned playing time mainly through versatility and special teams value, with 287 snaps in 2024 and 198 of them coming on special teams, plus four starts after moving to tight end in the spring[1]. In his first two MTSU seasons, he recorded defensive production instead of receiving stats, which suggests a player coaches trust for effort, toughness, and assignment discipline more than passing-game polish[1][3]. He looks like a fit for a staff that wants a reliable, physical developmental tight end who can help in multiple phases right now and potentially grow into a bigger offensive role later[1][2].
