Everybody wants to be a quarterback. Few people want to follow a legend. As you tune into college football each weekend and watch freshman quarterback Treon Harris lead the Florida Gators to victory, keep in mind that he led his high school football team back to back state championships. Harris and his pals at Booker T. Washington were also MaxPreps National Champions and Harris was named Gatorade player of the year. You would think after losing a talent like Harris and many key seniors, Booker T would suffer some kind of decline. Well just hold on a minute there Swami, enter Maurice Alexander.
Alexander entered Booker T. Washington this past spring and was already an accomplished quarterback. Alexander threw for 1900 yards and 24 touchdowns as a junior. However, much of his accomplishments were overshadowed by the attention paid to 5 star wide receiver Ermon Lane. Some questioned whether Alexander could keep the ball rolling at Booker T. Ten wins later Alexander and Booker T have tucked doubt into bed and put it to sleep. Alexander, like Harris before him has spent his entire football career giving doubt a healthy stiff arm. Recruiting circles have not surrounded him with praise as they have other 2015 quarterback prospects. Where many of those prospects have tallied up offers in excess of 30 to 40 from programs across the country, Alexander sits on just two and committed to Florida International University on June 13th. Alexander at 5’11” does not possess the ideal height and at 170 lbs. not the ideal weight. You’ve heard this story before and it always amazes me when programs are willing to pass up on production for their ideas of ideal measureables. Such was the case for Treon Harris and you see what he is doing as true freshman for one of the premier teams in the SEC. Alexander has scorched defenses all season long as Booker T. enters the playoffs averaging roughly 38 points per game.
Alexander on film possess poise, escapability, accuracy and a strong arm. His go get it attitude comes across in his play and rises his teammates to elite levels. When you go to buy a car, people urge you to check the car fax. Well if you are interested in Maurice Alexander, check his highlights. You’ll quickly see that he comes up with a clean title and he has his Booker T. teammates in prime position to collect their third straight Florida state 4A title.
