Report: Bear Alexander expected to visit USC this weekend
USC is one step closer to landing a big time transfer portal target.
According to a report from On3.com's Matt Zenitz, former Georgia defensive lineman Bear Alexander is set to visit USC's campus this weekend.
Alexander played in 12 of Georgia's 15 games as a true freshman. He made nine tackles, with three coming for loss. Alexander also recorded two sacks, two pass breakups and 13 quarterback hurries. One of the sacks came against TCU in Georgia's dominating national title game victory.
Coming out of IMG Academy in the class of 2022, Alexander was ranked as the No. 50 prospect nationally in the 247Sports.com composite. Texas A&M was viewed as the favorite to land the 6-foot-3, 305 pound defensive tackle, but ultimately Georgia locked down his signature.
Here's 247Sports.com's scouting report on Alexander coming out of high school:
Big-bodied interior defensive lineman with college-ready size. Requisite height accompanies significant mass. Missed sophomore year (transfer rules) but returned as a junior to aid a Texas 5A D-I state championship defense. Shows encouraging get-off quickness relative to size, as well as pursuit ability. Physical at the point of attack with expected play strength. Punchy and shows stack-and-shed ability vs. the run. Plays inside in a four-man front and is likely capable of fitting even or odd looks. Can expand move set and technical nuance. Balance and body control can also get better when engaged and in pursuit. Legitimate high-major interior defensive lineman who could become impact starter in college with potential to reach the pro level.
