Scouting Report
Has an ideal frame for a zero technique with high-end initial quickness and flexibility. Will enroll with a college-ready body. Long arms for a 6-foot-3 interior prospect with 81-inch wingspan. Strength is in the phone booth at this point, but possesses the agility to pursue from hash mark to hash mark. Can be very physical at the point of attack. Owns heavy hands and has natural play strength. Creates a jolt on initial contact when his pads are low. Takes on and wins against double teams. Has missed significant portions of his high school career due to being ruled ineligible after multiple transfers. Was able to play during a state title run as a junior at Denton Ryan in Texas and was a dominant performer on a defense loaded with Power 5 prospects.

Personal Life
USC coach Lincoln Riley believes Bear Alexander's best football is still ahead of him. Alexander emerged from the high school ranks as a top 10 defensive line prospect, but he played only sparingly during his freshman season at Georgia. Then he transferred to USC, where he made an immediate impact recording 48 tackles, including 6.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. He tied for the team lead with four quarterback hurries and had two pass deflections. Even with that resume, he still has plenty of room to grow, according to Riley. "You gotta remind people he played sparingly his true freshman year at Georgia," Riley said. "I mean he played for us here year one and then he missed all of spring because of an injury. Bear is still very young on the football field. Bear's still got a long way to go. He is definitely getting better fast, no question about it. And the sky is the limit. He's still not reached the level that we expect him – and he expects himself – to be."
