Former walk-on who earned scholarship recognition at Georgia Tech
Alford’s value is less about flashy stats and more about proven toughness, coach trust, and upside: Georgia Tech promoted him from walk-on to scholarship player, and his background includes all-region, all-district, and defensive player of the year honors in Georgia high school football.[6][1] At 6-2, 215 pounds, he profiles as a compact linebacker with special-teams value and development potential, though the public stat line is modest, with career totals showing 32 solo tackles and no sacks or interceptions.[3][4] If you want a grinder who earned his place, he fits the culture.
