When you think of the receivers that aren’t on Oklahoma State’s roster anymore, James Washington, Marcell Ateman and Chris Lacy come to mind. But Tyrell Alexander is another player who won’t catch passes in orange and black anymore – unless it’s an interception.
Alexander made the switch this spring from receiver to cornerback. The redshirt sophomore from Lancaster, Texas, had only two receptions for 68 yards last season. Fifty-six of those yards came on a reception against Kansas. Formerly a three-star recruit, Alexander received offers from Tennessee, Arizona State and Oregon before deciding to join OSU.
As with any position change, Alexander’s switch will come with a learning curve.
