Alexander played for the Tigers from 2012-16 and was considered one of the top senior prospects in the 2016 draft class. He was eventually selected by the Raiders in the seventh round as the 234th overall pick in the 2016 draft.
In July 2018, he was waived by Oakland after failing to report to training camp.
