Alexander's old man is his HC and they moved to Michigan from Virginia at the start of the season
Grand Blanc hires new varsity football coach Clint Alexander - MLive.com
Didn't get a chance to see them play this year but I'll try next year for sure. They came up short in playoffs versus perennial powerhouse Clarkston who are now Div 1 finalists.
I think that was Greer Martini's high school, so if the dad was a coach there they might know Greer.

My guess is the offer is a typo but if he has an offer, it must be for kicking. He's not the starting QB for Grand Blanc unless he was hurt earlier in the year. He was the K/P for Woodberry Forest last year.
Dad coached Martini, Prosise & Randolph.
So two guys that would probably speak well of the program and one who is suing the school. Lets hope he talks to the former and not the latter.
i would guess Alexander Sr and Jr are heading to SB to see Greer run out on senior day.
"The schools I would say I'm talking with the most are probably USC, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, ASU, Colorado and Washington. I talk with Notre Dame every week. They haven't offered yet but I think they could after the season. Growing up, Alabama was actually my childhood favorite. I spent part of my childhood there and a lot of my family is from there so that was the school I grew up rooting for."
ND officially in contact with Phil J's LT, Andrew Kristofic per Scout. If ND could land Carroll and Olmstead plus a third like Kristofic or Fort Wayne Dwenger's Joe Tippmann, they'd have a helluva haul.
Currently has offers from Wiscy, IU, MSU, WV & Pitt where his Dad played OL.

Some posts from Phil's thread:
pOSU offered on Monday.
"I have offers from Notre Dame, BYU, Utah, Cal, Virginia and Oregon State," said Calvert.
"I'm hearing from Washington, UCLA, USC and Texas too," said Calvert.
While Calvert has been playing quarterback for the Lions this fall, linebacker has been the most prominent position mentioned to him.
"Notre Dame has talked mainly about the Mike position and Utah also mainly as a linebacker but all the other ones have been to me as an athlete," said Calvert.
3* Paul Tyson with an offer. So ND's finally going to take two in a class. Tyson camped at Invasion and has visited another time I believe. Bear Bryant's grandson.

Was just watching the Twitter feed scroll by and saw TJ McDaniel. He visited for one of the home games this fall. I had no idea he was this productive:
10 G ... 222 car ... 1778 yds ... 8.0 ypc ... 22 TD ... 21 rec ... 187 yds ... 1 TD
That quite a bit better than Cam did as a Senior. Hard to believe he doesn't have a P5 offer yet.
He transferred to Southlake Carroll which is a 6A D2 school, the highest in Texas. They are ranked #14 in that class and are in the Regional Finals this weekend, (Sweet 16). Getting it done against big time, Dallas talent. One to watch I guess.
