Clemson Football: 35 Greatest Tigers of the Dabo Swinney Era

19. Mackensie Alexander

Mackensie Alexander never recorded a single interception during his Clemson football career and yet, he left as one of the top cornerbacks to ever play in the program.

What Alexander was able to do is something that simply can’t be matched.

He took on every opposing team’s leading receiver and completely shut them down. He was on an island all game long and opposing quarterbacks didn’t even try to throw his way. Alexander’s pure lockdown ability and physical nature were unlike anything we had seen before.

Though he only had the opportunity to play two seasons with the Tigers, Alexander made an impact that was certainly felt in the defensive backfield.
