houtiger Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I see Savion Smith out of InbredGumps (formerly with LSU) went undrafted. I guess even the great sambini could not resurrect his career after he came out of high school as a 5*, #1 CB in the nation his Sr. year. A disappointment.

The Hammond native was announced as a member of the Seattle Seahawks mini camp roster on Twitter Friday night. Mini-camps tend to last three days, and players try out to earn a contract with the team as an undrafted free agent. Alexander is one of five players on Seattle's mini camp roster that played collegiately in Louisiana, joining Louisiana Tech's Keonatye Garner and Michael Rodriquez and Louisiana-Lafayette's Simeon Thomas. Northwestern State's Jazz Ferguson is also on the roster, but already signed on with Seattle as an undrafted free agent after the completion of the draft. Northwestern State WR Jazz Ferguson, once an LSU player, signs with Seattle as undrafted free agent Alexander opted to forgo his senior season with the Tigers and did not play in the Fiesta Bowl. He finished his collegiate career with 58 tackles, 28 of which came his junior season, and 4.5 tackles for loss. Before his time at LSU, Alexander stared at St. Thomas Aquinas in Hammond where he garnered a four-star ranking by ESPN, Scout, Rivals and 247Sports. He participated in the 2016 Under Armour All-American Game, which invites the top high school seniors in the country. Alexander was projected by most scouting analysts to be a mid-round pick.

LSUDad Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Former LSU defensive back Terrence Alexander has agreement to sign with Minnesota Vikings BY BROOKS KUBENA | BKUBENA@THEADVOCATE.COM MAY 6, 2019 - 12:46 PM Buy Now LSU cornerback Terrence Alexander (11) defends as Texas A&M wide receiver Kendrick Rogers (13) manages to pull in a reception in overtime in the Aggies' 74-72 win over the Tigers in the 7th overtime, Saturday, November 24, 2018, at Texas A&M's Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. Advocate staff photo by HILARY SCHEINUK Facebook Twitter SMS Email Save Brooks Kubena A few days before a scheduled mini-camp tryout, former LSU defensive back Terrence Alexander will get a shot to continue his football career in Minnesota. Alexander has an agreement to sign as an undrafted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings, a source told The Advocate Monday afternoon. The 6-foot, 182-pound Alexander is scheduled to attend the Vikings mini-camp this weekend, and he will be the seventh LSU player to sign with an NFL franchise, the fourth to sign as a free agent. Inside linebacker Devin White was drafted No. 5 overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, cornerback Greedy Williams went No. 46 to the Cleveland Browns, and tight end Foster Moreau was selected in the fourth round, No. 137 overall by the Oakland Raiders. Former safety John Battle signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Jets, offensive guard Garrett Brumfield signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers and running back Nick Brossette signed with the New England Patriots. Former placekicker Cole Tracy left his tryout last weekend at Green Bay without a contract, and he is still to attend the New Orleans Saints mini-camp this upcoming weekend along with former LSU defensive back Ed Paris. The graduate transfer from Stanford arrived at LSU when questions still remained whether or not starting cornerback Kristian Fulton's suspension for using another person's urine during a drug test would be lifted by the NCAA in time for the 2018 season. Alexander even turned down a $110,000-per-year cyber security job in San Francisco to play football at LSU and see how far his career could go. When Fulton suffered a season-ending ankle injury against Arkansas, Alexander started at corner in the final three games of the season. Alexander recorded 23 tackles and three passes defended at LSU, adding to his totals at Stanford, where he recorded 57 career tackles and an interception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
