I want to thank Deontez for taking the time to talk with me. Deontez is a very impressive big play threat that has hailed in over 30 TD’S over the past 2 years. Most coming from 25+ yards. Alexander also shows great aggression, effort & strength in blocking as well. He is also 6’2 & runs a sub 4.40! You can check out his highlights below.

The most impressive thing about Alexander is what a nice guy he is. Extremely polite & well spoken young man. The kind of guy who can make an impact on the field, in the locker room & community. He really is an amazing person & should be proud of himself & recognized for it. Taking care of family, going to school & being a TD machine isn’t easy. Really wish him nothing but the best!
