Alex Cotton brings rugged, high-intensity depth to Valpo’s offensive line
Alex Cotton is a tough, versatile offensive lineman who has been praised for relentless intensity and the ability to play across tackle spots, which is exactly the kind of glue-guy profile coaches love. In Valparaiso’s 2016 season, he was part of an offensive line that helped the Beacons finish tied for 10th nationally in fewest sacks allowed per game at 0.91, a strong indicator of functional pass protection. If you want a lineman who plays with edge, flexibility, and a team-first mindset, Cotton fits the bill.
