'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.

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.

TL Hanna is a 4A school in the upper state of SC. 4A is the second largest division second only to "The Big 16" which is comprised of the sixteen largest schools in the state (Average Attendance Approx 2300). TL Hanna's region schedule matches them up with a number of quality teams including the Ignatius of SC in Gaffney High School.
Ben's competition is stout.

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. He will attend USC's junior day March 19th. USC and Clemson are indicating offers. He has attended North Carolina's junior day.

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.

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. |
