Zy Alexander brings size, ball skills, and plug-and-play cornerback value
Zy Alexander is a high-floor LSU corner whose best calling cards are his length, zone awareness, and dependable tackling, traits that scouts say translate to an immediate contributor with starting upside. In the 2024 season, LSU reported he earned an elite 87.5 PFF grade and ranked No. 1 among Power 4 cornerbacks, while adding 14 tackles, 2 interceptions, 5 passes defended, and 1 sack. The main caution is durability: he battled a knee injury in 2023, but when healthy he looks like a physical, instinctive fit for a defense that wants a steady outside CB rather than a boom-or-bust athlete.
