Josh Alexander brings FIU a versatile, high-effort defender with proven special-teams value
Josh Alexander is a useful depth add for FIU because his game has been built on versatility, effort, and steady production rather than flash; at Austin Peay in 2019, he played in all 15 games and led the team with 308 kickoff-return yards on 14 attempts, while also contributing as a receiver late in the season.[2] He has shown coach-friendly reliability and toughness, but the available public stat trail points more to a multi-role athlete than a pure, stat-dominant DL impact player, so he fits best as an energy/role piece rather than an instant headline pass-rush answer.[1][2]
