DEL.ICIO.USCartersville’s Alexander waits for ‘dream’ offers

Morgan Alexander is a lot more than Donavan Tate’s sidekick at Cartersville.
In fact, Alexander, a speedy (4.43 seconds in the 40) running back/receiver/defensive back has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Louisville and Indiana. But he says he’s waiting on his “dream offers,” which he hopes will come this fall.
“I’m going to hold out to see if I can get some offers from Tennessee, Auburn, Florida State and Clemson,” said Alexander (6-feet, 180 pounds), a member of the AJC’s Georgia Top 150. “I like the [offers] I already have. But those are some other schools I’d really like to hear from.”
Georgia is noticeably absent from his list and for good reason, says Alexander. He will play on either side of the ball, but prefers offense over defense.
“Man, Georgia is already too stacked,” Alexander said, noting that the Bulldogs have running backs Richard Samuels and Caleb King waiting in the wings behind Knowshon Moreno. “And they’re trying to bring in [Emanuel County Institute’s Washaun Ealey]. I’d never see the field [early]. Maybe at defensive back, but they’re stacked on offense.
“Arkansas has told me that if I come in and work hard, I can earn a position early,” Alexander said. “They are short at running back.”
If he doesn’t hear from another school, Alexander said he’ll be more than happy to choose from the offers he has. He plans to take official visits to Arkansas, Louisville and Indiana sometime this fall.
“I have to try to figure out the best time to do it, because I want to get a really good look at all three campuses,” Alexander said. “All three of them have good athletic programs and good academic programs, which is really the most important thing to me.”
