Louisville cornerback Jaire Alexander has made game-changing interceptions and dazzling plays on special teams. But for the remainder of the season, he might only be known for a prance gone viral.
In the third quarter against Wake Forest last Saturday, Alexander knocked away a fourth-and-9 pass intended for Scotty Washington. When he got up, Alexander put his arms on his hips, stared at Washington and then followed right behind him with a half-prance, half-high step.
Alexander was not flagged for taunting. But quickly, the move was clipped and went viral.
“Throughout the game he was talking a little trash, so when I batted that ball down on fourth down, he’s just walking off the field,” Alexander said.
