Backup quarterback Christian Alexander — the offensive MVP of FIU’s Bahamas Bowl victory against Toledo — has decided to leave the university as a graduate transfer.
He has yet to announce his new school, but he told the Miami Herald on Monday that he will be visiting Murray State, Rhode Island and Wagner, starting this Friday.
Alexander, a 6-2, 225-pound redshirt junior, was stuck at FIU behind James Morgan, who missed the bowl game because a sore throwing shoulder but has one more year of eligibility remaining.
Against Toledo, Alexander gave a lot of coaches around the country who are looking for a quarterback a glimpse of what he can do, passing for 209 yards and running for 83 more in his first collegiate start.
