36 Days to Purdue Football: Jaylan Alexander
Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Today we feature a player that burst onto the scene as a true freshman and is now entering year four as a long time contributor and starter.
Jaylan Alexander - Sr.
Hoffman Estates, IL (Hoffman Estates HS)
6’1”, 230 pounds
Linebacker
2021 Projection: Starter
Jaylan was part of coach Brohm’s first four year class and made the rare impact at linebacker as a true freshman. He played in 11 games and even starter twice, getting 23 tackles. Those are not bad numbers for a true freshman. He ended up playing a lot in the Music City Bowl against Auburn and made 8 tackles.
