For top star, the road to Washington wasn’t a straight shot—it was a full-circle journey fueled by determination. The former Seattle-area prep standout, once overlooked by the Huskies during his initial recruitment, is now back in Montlake with something to prove. After excelling at a smaller program and turning heads in the transfer portal, he has returned home, eager to show UW and the college football world what they missed the first time around. His story is one of resilience, redemption, and unfinished business.
A dynamic defensive back, dominated at the high school level but never received the Washington offer he had dreamed of. Instead, he took his talents elsewhere, where he quickly made an impact. Over the past two seasons, he developed into one of the most electric playmakers in his conference, showcasing elite ball skills, physicality, and a relentless work ethic. When the Huskies came calling this time, there was no hesitation. “I’ve always had love for this program,” Alexander said. “But now, I have something to prove.”
Returning to UW means more than just playing for the hometown team—it’s about rewriting the narrative. The Huskies are looking to reload their secondary, and Alexander arrives with the perfect mix of hunger and experience to make an immediate impact. His former doubters now watch from the sidelines as he steps onto the field wearing the very jersey he once dreamed of. The coaching staff has raved about his tenacity in offseason workouts, and if his track record is any indication, Alexander is primed to become a key piece of Washington’s defensive identity.
With the 2025 season fast approaching, all eyes will be on Alexander as he fights for a starting role and the respect he’s long deserved. The journey back to UW wasn’t easy, but for Alexander, that only makes the opportunity sweeter. Now, with a chip on his shoulder and the city behind him, he’s ready to prove that sometimes, the best stories come from those who were once overlooked
