Beane and I like our interior defensive linemen to be versatile 1-tech/3-tech guys. Add in "get home" ability with lots of sacks/TFLs to add to constant pressures. Beane's DT archetype seems to be in the 296-320 lb range, and that's Bear. Alexander was active in the 2025 whiteout 2-OT scouted win over PSU with 2 solos and 3 assists. He had a fumble recovery in the Oregon State game, also scouted, and 3 solos/1 assist in the Rutgers game. Alexander has traveled around, previously for the Georgia Bulldogs and the USC Trojans. I expect we'll see at least one DT hear his name called in April 2027.

Enters his final collegiate season among the highest-rated returning interior defensive linemen in the country. His 84.8 overall grade as a junior ranks third at his position group, trailing only Colorado's EzraChristensen (previously at New Mexico State) and Auburn's Cody Sigler (previously at Arkansas State). Will switch to jersey No. 10 for his final season as a Red Raider. @IC_Draft: "impressed me a ton on film. All-American in '25. 4.5 sacks, 9 TFLs, 84.3 PFN DT Impact grade. Average size, but elite explosive capacity, great size-adjusted power, relentless motor. Love his fit in penetrating, one-gapping schemes."
