A four-star linebacker from Washington, Oklahoma, Alexander committed to Penn State for the 2027 class after official visits to Penn State and Oklahoma, declaring Penn State as his destination and calling it ‘Linebacker University.’

Penn State’s 2027 class now sits with 21 commits, with Alexander serving as the second linebacker alongside Blake Betton of Minnesota.

In his remarks to Steve Wiltfong, Alexander emphasized the importance of relationships and the program doing things the right way.

Alexander is ranked among the top prospects as the No. 266 overall player in the 247Sports composite, the No. 22 linebacker in his class, and the No. 7 player in Oklahoma.

During his junior season, he tallied 88 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and five sacks, and over three years he has 276 tackles, 28 TFLs, eight sacks, six interceptions, four forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries.

The commitment followed an official visit on June 5, where he was part of a large group of commits and said he wanted to play with his brother.

Alexander has visited Penn State multiple times and also explored other programs during recruitment.

Beyond football, he competes in basketball and track, showing a multi-sport athletic background.

Although family ties to Oklahoma suggested the Sooners would be favored, strong relationships with Penn State’s staff and the program’s appeal influenced his decision after late January and April visits and a follow-up trip earlier this month.

The article notes other recruiting developments, including four-star cornerback Semajay Robinson choosing Virginia over Virginia Tech and the broader coaching landscape under James Franklin.

Alexander is described as an instinctive defender with sideline-to-sideline range and productive high school production.

Penn State has also secured other recruiting wins recently, such as four-star tight end Sean Currie, highlighting ongoing success amid setbacks at other positions.
