Case Alexander's high-level football instincts, smooth movement skills, and frame remind us of Carson Schwesinger. Both were two-way players at the high school level. Alexander is further along than Schwesinger, who was a walk-on, at the same stage. 

One of the more skilled and instinctive linebacker prospects in the 2027 cycle. Measured in at a shade under 6-foot-3 and around 215 pounds prior to his senior season. Lines up as a linebacker and tight end for his high school team. Seemingly all over the field as a defender. Seamlessly keys and flows to the football, taking clean paths to the ball carrier. Plays with a physical edge. Shows pop in his hands when working to stack and shed. A strong form tackler and drives his feet on contact. Eliminates angles with his play speed. Appears to be equally comfortable playing the run and pass. Comfortable in space and fluid in coverage. Shows high level coordination and top notch ball skills as a tight end. Fluid and coordinated with the ball in his hands. Finished his junior season with 88 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks along with 36 catches for 679 yards and 12 touchdowns on offense. Impact player on special teams, blocking multiple kicks as a junior. Father, Stephen Alexander was a second round pick and Pro Bowl tight end. Will need to continue adding strength and mass, but has the look of a well-rounded linebacker prospect with NFL upside.
