LeRoy Alexander Picks Nebraska

LeRoy Alexander Picks Nebraska Nebraska picked up a somewhat unexpected commitment this weekend, when LeRoy Alexander verbally pledged to play at NU. The 6'1'', 185 Alexander is labeled as an "athlete" in this class, as he could play on either side of the ball in college. He comes from the heart of the Big Ten recruiting territory, having played at Whitmer high school in Toledo, Ohio. He's rated as a 3-star prospect by Rivals.com and had a scholarship offer from Toledo before choosing NU. Other Big Ten schools - Michigan State in particular - had also shown interest in recruiting Alexander. He becomes the 12th member of the Husker recruiting class. Nebraska is expected to have a relatively small class this recruiting cycle. National signing day is February 1st.
