Clemson Set to Host Alabama Linebacker Transfer Jeremiah Alexander
Clemson football is gearing up to make a significant addition to its defense as former Alabama linebacker Jeremiah Alexander is set to visit the Tigers in the coming days. Alexander, a highly touted prospect from the Class of 2022, entered the transfer portal earlier this offseason, drawing interest from several top programs.
The former five-star recruit out of Alabaster, Alabama, was one of the crown jewels of Nick Saban’s 2022 recruiting class. Known for his physicality, speed, and versatility, Alexander redshirted during his freshman year but made a strong impression during practices and limited game action. His decision to transfer comes as he looks for more playing time and a system where his skill set can shine.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin are expected to pitch Alexander on joining an already strong defensive unit that has been a cornerstone of Clemson’s success. With standout linebackers like Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Barrett Carter potentially heading to the NFL after the 2024 season, Alexander’s addition would help maintain the Tigers’ dominance at the linebacker position.
Clemson’s reputation for developing defensive talent and its family-oriented program are expected to be key selling points during Alexander’s visit. The Tigers have had significant success in landing impact players through the transfer portal in recent years, and Alexander’s pedigree makes him one of the most sought-after names available.
If Clemson can secure Alexander’s commitment, it would be a massive boost to their 2025 roster and a signal of their continued ability to compete with SEC powerhouses in recruiting and player development. Stay tuned for updates as Alexander’s recruitment unfolds.
