On3 DB / Jeremiah Alexander

As a College Recruit

Powerful, highly active edge defender who is among the more productive prospects in the 2022 cycle. Has explosive power in his hands, rocking opposing linemen back on contact. Able to occupy and shed offensive linemen to make plays behind the line of scrimmage. Plays with a high effort level on a snap to snap basis and shines against top competition. Highly instinctive and communicative, working to align his teammates pre-snap. Best as a speed to power pass rusher at this stage. Has helped his team to two state titles as a sophomore and junior. On pace to finish his high school career with over 400 tackles and 100 tackles for loss. Smaller than other top EDGE prospects but has some compensatory strength. Could also possibly play as an off-ball linebacker at the next level.

Like Brandon Graham, Jeremiah Alexander is a highly productive and accomplished high school player who checks in at under 6-foot-2 and around 235 pounds. Alexander excels as a power player with his strong hands and ability to anchor and overpower bigger offensive linemen. Should Alexander hit his ceiling, he’s most likely to do so as a player with a similar style as Graham. We’ve also heard Alexander compared to former Alabama defensive end Courtney Upshaw.

Jeremiah Alexander evaluation at Under Armour All-America Game

Charles Power

It took Alabama signee Jeremiah Alexander a day or two to adjust to the setting at Under Armour, but we saw the five-star make his fair share of plays by the end of the week. Alexander looks to be around 6-foot-1, 230-240 pounds. He was employed more as a edge setter and pursuit defender in high school, so this setting where he was pass rushing against big offensive tackles was a bit new. We saw Alexander employ a nice spin move towards the end of the week – something he wasn’t doing earlier. His effort level also showed up multiple times in 11-on-11 work.

Jeremiah Alexander tabbed as a 5-star prospect in On300 update

Charles Power

Jeremiah Alexander earned a fifth star in Tuesday's update of the On300. He moves up to No. 18 overall following a dominant start to his senior season for the nationally-ranked Warriors. Alexander is one of the more productive players along the defensive front in the 2022 cycle. We don't always see top EDGE and defensive line prospects make this type of impact on a snap-to-snap basis. Through six games, Alexander has totaled 43 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and six sacks. That's despite not playing deep into many second halves due to blowout games.
