Charles Alexander remains one of LSU’s all-time run-game legends, but he is not a current DT prospect
Charles Alexander is a historic LSU running back, not a current defensive tackle: he rushed for 4,035 yards and 40 touchdowns in college, was a two-time Heisman finalist, and set SEC and LSU records that still frame his legacy.[1][2][8] If you’re evaluating him for your team today, the answer is no—he is an honorific name from LSU history, not an active roster fit; what makes him stand out is his rare combination of productivity, durability, and game-breaking explosiveness, including a 1,686-yard 1977 season.[1][2][3]
