VIDEO: Justice Alexander Feature

 

JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. - Each week during the 2021 football season, an individual or a group of individuals within the Carson-Newman football program will be featured in a segment that appears on The Mike Clowney Show.

This week, Justice Alexander sits down with Richard Martin of the Eagle Sports Network to discuss his journey from Macedonia, Ohio to Mossy Creek. Alexander talks about his recruiting decision to go to Michigan State over Ohio State, transferring back home after the death of his grandfather, and finally finding a home in Mossy Creek after the shutdown of Urbana University due to COVID-19.
