'06 SC DT Ben Alexander (Texas Verbal)
![]() Ben Alexander Anderson (SC) T. L. Hanna Height: 6-foot-1 Weight: 285 pounds 40-yard dash: 5.02 seconds Bench max: 385 pounds Squat max: 600 pounds GPA: 3.0 Bench: 385 - Ben is a teammate of '06 DB recruit Ameer Salahudin - 77 stops, 30 tackles for loss and six sacks last season, earning all-state honors - I viewed his film, and he looked to have good explosion and speed for such a big man. Maybe OSUGrad21 can tell us how strong the competition is for Hanna. BSB 2/4 T. L. Hanna head coach and Clemson graduate Scott Parkercalls Alexander a "freak," and says he is one of the strongest players he has ever coached. Alexander will camp at Clemson, Texas, Tennessee and Ohio State. BSB 3/5 Florida State and Georgia Tech have offered Alexander a scholarship. The Seminoles and Yellow Jackets are a part of Alexander's early top six, along with Clemson, Maryland, Michigan and Ohio State. Alexander is originally from Ohio and his dad used to take him to Ohio State games all the time. Last edited by Highstreet; 03-06-2005 at 04:08 PM. |

Link Hanna Trio Getting Early Attention By Phil Kornblut T.L. Hanna High School in Anderson has emerged as one of the state's top 4A programs and coach Scott Parker has another talented team for 2005. Two of his prospects have already picked up major offers and a third is close. DL Ben Alexander (6-0 290) had 77 tackles and 22 sacks last season. "He is explosive with unbelievable strength," Parker said. "If height matters, I don't think it does in Ben's case. He's now raw, he's just mean. When he hits you, you can feel it. He just explodes through you." Alexander's father played defensive tackle at the Citadel in the mid eighties. He has been offerred by Florida State and Georgia Tech and is also drawing interest from USC, Clemson, Maryland, Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Georgia, Auburn, Notre Dame and NC State.

Alexander is being heavily recruited by FSU. They were the first team to extend an offer. North Carolina, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Duke, and Ohio State. he really likes OSU, but has yet to hear from them. Alexander boasts a 385-pound bench press max and a 600-pound squat max. He projects as a full qualifier. Last edited by wadc45; 03-13-2005 at 03:42 PM. |

Somebody better tell the OSU staff to get on the ball here. We haven't taken many true DT's lately, and Maupin's spot may need to be filled. Alexander is probably the top DT with interest in OSU.

5/3 (UT) Ben does not have an official offer from Texas but the coaches have stated they will come see him in person and an offer should follow. He is being pressured to attend Clemson, which is 10 miles away, but Ben says he is wide open and has visited schools that are just as impressive as Clemson. He claims to have no leader and is wide open. Last edited by osugrad21; 05-04-2005 at 07:15 AM. |
