Person And Player, Alejandro Villanueva Is One Of A Kind

There is a long pause on the other end of the phone. Andy Guyarder struggles to search for the words that adequately describe Alejandro Villanueva as a person. His career arc is equally unparalleled.

Few people know Villanueva better than Guyarder. He was Army’s wide receiver coach in 2009, his first year on the job. He inherited the seemingly possible task of being responsible for turning Villanueva into a wideout.

Army head coach Rich Ellerson was the first to suggest moving Villanueva from left tackle, where he started every game during his junior year.
