Maurice Alexander brings veteran ballhawking toughness to Utah State
In the 2013 season, Maurice Alexander was a tone-setting Utah State safety who finished with 80 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 6 pass breakups, and an interception, ranking 32nd in the Mountain West and first among safeties with 6.2 tackles per game[1][2]. His calling card is versatility: he can play close to the line like a linebacker, trigger fast downhill, and still hold up in coverage. The big differentiator is his backstory and edge—after a turbulent stretch that included being off the team, he fought back into a starting role and made the most of his second chance, which says a lot about his intensity and resilience[1][4].
