“Coach (Tim) Kish wants me to play linebacker and Coach Mike Stoops wants me at safety,” Alexander said. “That can fit in perfectly for me. I can play nickelback or if they want to move me up to linebacker and put on some weight, I can do that too.

“I like the way that defense is ran, and I think I'll have a chance to play quick down there.”

Now, Alexander is trying to help the Sooners bolster their incoming class. Alexander met many of the OU commits at the Notre Dame game late last month.
