BYU Commit Therrian Alexander Arrives for BYU Official Visit

On Thursday, BYU commit Therrian (Tre) Alexander arrived in Utah for his BYU official visit. This will be Alexander's first time on BYU's campus since he committed to the Cougars back in August. Getting Alexander, a Georgia native, on campus was especially important. Nearby Georgia Tech has been pushing to flip Alexander from BYU. He was on Georgia Tech's campus last weekend on an official visit.

When Tre committed to the Cougars, he picked BYU over competing Power Five offers from Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and NC State. He also held offers from the likes of UAB, Western Kentucky, and Georgia Southern among others.

Over the last several months, BYU's staff has worked diligently to keep Alexander in the fold while competing Big 12 peers like West Virginia and Houston have tried to swoop in late and flip his commitment. Georgia Tech has posed the greatest threat, but Tre is still committed to BYU.

Alexander is a long, lean defensive back listed at 6-2.5 and 165 pounds. Cornerbacks with his size and speed are hard to find on the recruiting trail which is why he was coveted by various Power Five programs.

Alexander is one of BYU's highest-rated commits in the 2024 class and someone that BYU can build around on the defensive side. BYU cornerbacks coach Jernaro Gilford deserves a lot of credit for building a relationship with Alexander that was enough to over the geographical hurdles in Alexander's recruitment. Coach Kelly Poppinga was also a major player in his recruitment.

Alexander is one of a handful of important recruits that will be on campus this weekend. With only one official visit weekend remaining before signing day, this weekend is one of the most important recruiting weekends of the year.
