Donnell Alexander

After toting the ball just 32 times over the first eight weeks of the 2012 season, Alexander went on to rush for 423 yards and four touchdowns on 85 attempts in the final four games of his freshman campaign. He ended the season with just one more carry than Chris Nwoke, who had rushed for 1,130 yards and nine touchdowns in 2011, but Alexander had 17 more yards and two more touchdowns on the ground than Nwoke, while also chipping in 17 catches for 155 yards on the season. It’s uncertain whether Alexander or Nwoke will be the starter heading into 2013, but both figure to be involved in the offense.
