The Trojans defensive lineman is scheduled to visit the transfer portal upon its opening, according to multiple publications.
USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander has denied multiple reports that he will the transfer portal when it opens next week. The 6-foot-3, 313-pound Alexander took to social media Wednesday to seemingly reaffirm his commitment to the Trojans.
The Texas native is no stranger to moving. Alexander enrolled at three different public high schools in Texas before finally landing at IMG Academy as a senior. He was a highly recruited player and eventually chose Georgia, where he was viewed by many as the future on the Bulldogs’ interior defensive line. Instead, he transferred to USC to help revamp the Trojans’ lackluster defense.
He emerged as an impact player as a sophomore with 48 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks and was one of the few bright spots on a struggling USC defense during a disappointing 8-5 campaign. His return would be a major boon for the Trojans as they attempt to bolster that side of the ball under new defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn.
