This will be a guy to follow for sure. Probably mid to late 3rd right now, could move up considerably with a good offseason showing that he can hang with upper level competition. Comes out of the same program as Eagles star rookie CB Quinyon Mitchell.

One of the underrated DL prospects in the 2025 #NFL Draft. https://t.co/U0o3JMoAYp pic.twitter.com/6r5mvtTZtm

Toledo's DT Darius Alexander (#9)
Attacks off the LOS w/ good hand timing/placement to shock the OL, stopping their feet. He showcases his anchor against a combo, sheds, and makes the 4th down stop. pic.twitter.com/iIVnDplshn
Darius Alexander plays with great leverage, hand placement and power/strength. https://t.co/LEJReOHpsL pic.twitter.com/l5da0arYrV
