Notre Dame will host highly sought after 2027 defensive lineman

Notre Dame will host one of Florida’s fastest-rising defensive linemen in the country this spring, as he released which teams will get a visit.

Defensive tackle Tyler Alexander is currently listed at 6-foot, 5-inches and around 310-pounds, possessing great size for the interior with a trip coinciding with the Blue & Gold Game. His recruitment has gotten serious over the past few months, adding offers from Florida, Florida State, Texas, Texas A&M and others along with Notre Dame. Alexander accumulated 20 tackles-for-loss and 21-quarterback hurries in 11 games last season and measured with an 80-inch wingspan at a recent Rivals camp, underscoring his blend of size and disruption.

Notre Dame offered Alexander in late January through defensive assistant Chris Partridge, which perhaps suggests early priority status on the Irish board. On film, Alexander flashes heavy hands, knock-back power and the ability to reset the line of scrimmage, projecting as an interior anchor. The April visit should give Marcus Freeman’s staff a crucial first in-person impression as bluebloods begin stacking up for the South Florida standout.
