Clemson cornerback Mackenie Alexander will leave early for the NFL Draft, as first-reported by 247Sports.

Alexander has been one of the nation's top cornerbacks the last two years and projects to be a first round pick.

Alexander later confirmed the news on his Twitter account.

He didn't have a college interception as he was rarely tested the last two seasons.

As a junior, Alexander racked up 26 tackles and six pass breakups.

Coming out of Immokalee, Fla., Alexander, a four-star recruit, was ranked as the nation's No. 4 cornerback and the No. 6 prospect in Florida in the 2013 class by 247Sports.com Composite Rankings.
