Early years
Born to a poor family in Serbia, Aleksandar from a young age always had a bit of a mean streak with him. As early as he can remember his mother was always trying to pull him out of fights with the local children, and between her and her husband working several jobs to make ends meet, she would eventually force him into wrestling as a child to devote his energy to productive means. Aleksandar immediately had an impact on his local team, propelling them to the Serbian national championships where he would eventually get an offer to wrestle for the University of Iowa after a chance encounter with a head scout there. Following his arrival on the campus, Aleksandar would actually be suspended from wrestling after seriously injuring his opponent in the first match of his career, but another chance encounter would lead to him getting a walk on tryout with the football team.
College career
The hardest part for Aleksandar adjusting to the game of American football was actually learning how to use his physicality in a proper way that would be conductive to on the field results. Launching himself at full speed regardless of technique yielded many penalties in the team training camps meaning that he was coming off of the bench for his first game vs North Dakota State. In the game against North Dakota State he would play on 40% of the snaps picking up one sack, one tackle for loss, and three roughing the passer penalties. Over the course of the season Aleksandar would refine his game more, cutting the penalties in half while getting more consistent playing time and leading the team with sacks with 14. Following his rookie season Aleksandar would be named a full time starter on the team, playing the role of a rush linebacker, and would lead the team in sacks with 20 to work with 21 tackles for loss. Citing an interest in going pro and not wanting to play the third required season for the draft, Aleksandar dropped out to immediately pursue a career in the DSFL.
