Former Alabama linebacker, Jeremiah Alexander has a fresh start to his collegiate career after taking his talents up north to play for Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers.

The redshirt junior spoke with media Tuesday during Clemson’s spring practice and discussed the elements that influenced his decision to chose Clemson as his new home after transferring from Alabama.

The time at Alabama, I wouldn’t trade it for nothing,” Alexander said. “I feel like it made me the man I am today. But just being able to have the opportunity to come in the portal. Coach (Dabo) Swinney doesn’t take a lot of guys out of the portal. We brought in three this year. Just having that opportunity and that connect with Peter Woods made it a lot more easier and more efficient.”

Alexander will now get the opportunity to showcase his full potential this fall in the ACC.
