Jonathan Alexander, Safety, Breakout or Bust?

Chris Klieman may have tipped his hand a little early:

But when faced with the task of deciding which new face will start opposite star returning Safety, Denzel Goolsby, Klieman has a tough decision to make.

And its a great problem to have! Alexander had an excellent high school career at Trimble Tech in Ft. Worth, TX before going to Garden City Community College, and then playing last year at Northeastern State.

Last year proved to be a breakout year for Alexander, as he was"Rated the 14th-best community college safety in the Class of 2019 by 247Sports... Earned honorable mention all-conference honors as a sophomore after totaling 49 tackles, one tackle for loss, nine pass breakups and an interception... Helped Kilgore produce a 10-2 season with a conference championship." (According to K-State Sports.com)

Some are already talking about Alexander being one of the top Safety recruits in recent history:
