Jacksonville, FL native Derrick Alexander signed with FSU in 1991 and played in 10 games as a redshirt freshman in 1992. His explosive pass rush became evident his sophomore year as he finished that
1993 season second on the team in total tackles with 100. He dominated the national championship game against Nebraska with 11 tackles and was named to four All-America teams. As a junior in 1994, Alexander was one of the top players in the country and one of the preseason favorites for both the Lombardi and Outland Trophies. He was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year following the season and was named on seven All-America squads earning first-team on three of them. Minnesota selected him in the first round of the NFL draft following his junior year and he played there for four seasons then one year with the Cleveland Browns.
