On attending Rensselaer: "I wanted to attend a school with academic prestige and at the same time the opportunity to play for a school rich in tradition. RPI offered both. The commitment to excellence both on and off the football field was the atmosphere I wanted to be in." - September 2016

Benefits of undergraduate community at Rensselaer: "The awesome support system around you to help you achieve success in whatever you choose to accomplish." - September 2016

Olympia (Rensselaer Athletics Student-Athlete Honor Society): “Alexander’s two greatest accomplishments are his ability to lead and that he is never satisfied with his performance. His self-expectation level is not of this universe, all while bleeding Cherry & White. Alex is someone that RPI will be proud of for all he accomplished and the manner in which he accomplished it!” - Head football coach, Ralph Isernia
