A man once said, “The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.” In the case of Charlotte defensive end Alex Highsmith, obstacles in his path seem much more like stepping stones.
From walking on in 2015 to being named First Team C-USA in 2018, Alex has proven he’s more than capable of competing at the highest level. While being a student-athlete is incredibly demanding, Alex’s goals extend further than the gridiron.
“I want to be known for more than my performance on the field. I want people to remember me for my character and me as a person rather than me on the football field,” Highsmith said.
