Mason Alexander, a freshman cornerback at the University of Pittsburgh, passed away yesterday in a car accident. Before committing to Pittsburgh, Missouri football was involved in his recruitment, and he graduated early in December. Alexander was set to begin practicing with the team this spring.
His friend, Missouri safety Daylan Carnell, posted a tribute for Alexander on X (formerly known as Twitter), writing, "RIP Mason Alexander. Love you lil bro. A great kid gone way too soon. Gone miss you baby boy." Both players are from the Indianapolis area.
