Early years
William James Alexander is the older of two sons of Catherine Alexander, a pharmacist, and James Alexander, a biologist.
William soon discovered his love for all kinds of sports and spent most of his free time outside with his brother Marcus and their cousins. He played football, baseball and soccer for his local high school. Despite his undeniable athletic ability he didn't get much attention as a teenager due to his small frame. As a senior in high school Alexander went through a growth spurt and coaches took more notice of his talents. He received some scholarship offers as a baseball player but decided he wanted to play football. Although quite far from his hometown of Denver, Alexander decided to attend Oregon State.
Although he was born and raised in Colorado, Alexander grew up as a fan of the Orange County Otters, thanks to his uncle. His brother Marcus, two years younger than William, plays as an outfielder for the Colorado State University Rams.
College career
Freshman Season
Alexander didn't get much playime in his freshman year. He was mostly used as a tight end but since he hadn't gotten used to his new physical capabilities and lacked the required strength, he struggled for most of the season, only playing in four games, recording six catches for thirty yards and one touchdown.
Sophomore Season
After spending most of the off-season building up some muscle and working on his blocking, Alexander became the second string tight end. He was mostly used as a red zone target and caught two touchdowns during his limited playtime. Due to a series of injuries to the team's wide receivers, Alexander spent the latter half of the season as a wide receiver, a role in which he excelled, showcasing his good hands and agility for a player his size. He started six games, getting thirty receptions, 526 yards and scoring four touchdowns.
Junior Season
Alexander and his coaches decided to make the switch to wide receiver permanent in the off-season. With a combination of his speed and physical abilities, Alexander managed to score twelve touchdowns and put up 1,198 yards. Alexander declared for the DSFL draft after the season.
