Zy Alexander is a 6'1", 187-pound cornerback from Loreauville, Louisiana, who played college football at LSU. A former quarterback, wide receiver, and safety in high school, Alexander began his collegiate career at Southeastern Louisiana, where he earned All-American honors in 2021 after recording six interceptions. He transferred to LSU in 2023, starting eight games before a season-ending injury. In 2024, he returned to form, starting all 13 games and finishing with 27 tackles, three interceptions, and four pass breakups. His performance earned him the No. 1 cornerback ranking in the Power 4 conferences by Pro Football Focus, with an elite 87.5 season-long grade and a remarkable 4.4 passer rating allowed when targeted.
Following his standout college career, Alexander went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft but was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent. Scouts have praised his ball skills, physicality, and versatility, noting his ability to play both press-man and off-coverage schemes effectively. While he may need to refine his hand usage in press coverage and improve his pad level when breaking on routes, Alexander's athleticism and competitive nature make him a promising addition to the Seahawks' secondary.
