Timeline

1971

Derrick Scott Alexander (born November 6, 1971) is an American college football coach and former wide receiver.

He is the head football coach for Avila University, a position he has held since 2023.

Alexander was born in Detroit in 1971.

He attended Benedictine High School where he competed in football, basketball, track, and baseball.

1988

After his senior season, he was selected by the Detroit Free Press as a first-team player on its Class B all-state team and its 1988 All-Catholic team.

1989

He played college football at the University of Michigan from 1989 to 1993 where he was selected as a first-team All-Big Ten receiver in both 1992 and 1993.

In basketball, he played at the forward position, averaged 19 points per game, and received second-team All-Catholic honors in 1989.

In track, he ran 4.4 in the 40-yard dash, won the Class B Michigan championship in the 200-meter, finished second in the Class B long jump, and won the Catholic League finals in the 100-meter sprint.

Alexander's father, John, encouraged him to concentrate on one sport, but his mother, Marion, encouraged him to compete in multiple sports: "If he's playing sports he can't be running the streets and getting into trouble."

Alexander had his greatest success in football.

At Benedictine, he played at the running back, wide receiver, and safety positions and also returned punts and kickoffs.

As a senior, he tallied 877 rushing yards (13.9 yards per carry) and over 1,000 receiving yards on 40 receptions.

In January 1989, Alexander was rated No. 2 on the Detroit Free Press "Fab 50" list of the top football prospects in the State of Michigan.

His mother expressed surprise at the recruiting process: "Every college you can think of has called. I know he had a lot of athletic ability, but I guess I am surprised at how much attention he is getting. This is unbelievable to me."

He signed with Michigan in February 1989.

Alexander enrolled at the University of Michigan in the fall of 1989.

As a freshman, he caught six passes for 107 yards and one touchdown.

Prior to his sophomore season, Alexander was awarded Michigan's No. 1 jersey previously worn by the school's top receivers.

Alexander responded with a strong performance, catching 31 passes for 450 yards and six touchdowns.

He also returned 13 kickoffs for an average of 27.8 yards per return.

1991

In the 1991 season opener against Boston College, Alexander was tackled by his left knee on a kickoff return and sustained a tear of his anterior cruciate ligament and ripped knee cartilage.

He underwent arthroscopic surgery and missed the remainder of the 1991 season.

1992

Alexander returned from the injury in 1992 as a redshirt junior.

He totaled 50 receptions for 740 yards and 11 receiving touchdowns, rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown, and returned 26 punts for an average of 14.3 yards and two touchdowns.

Against Minnesota on October 24, he caught seven Elvis Grbac passes for 130 yards and set a Michigan record with four touchdown catches.

At the end of the season, he was selected by the Associated Press (AP) as a first-team receiver on the 1992 All-Big Ten Conference football team and a third-team player on the All-America team.

1993

As a redshirt senior in 1993, he totaled 35 receptions for 621 yards and four touchdowns and returned 16 punts for an average of 10.2 yards and two touchdowns.

For the second time, he was selected by the AP as a first-team receiver on the 1993 All-Big Ten Conference football team.

Against Illinois on October 23, he caught seven Todd Collins passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns.

1994

He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 1994 NFL Draft and played nine seasons in the National Football League (NFL) with the Cleveland Browns (1994–1995), Baltimore Ravens (1996–1997), Kansas City Chiefs (1998–2001), and Minnesota Vikings (2002).

In the 1994 Hall of Fame Bowl, Alexander's last game for Michigan, he returned a punt for a touchdown.

It was the first kick or punt return for a touchdown in a bowl game by a Michigan player.

Alexander concluded his Michigan career having appeared in 44 games with 125 receptions for 1,977 yards, 22 touchdowns, and an average of 15.8 yards per reception.

He returned 42 punts for 534 yards (12.7-yard average) and four touchdowns.

Alexander was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the first round (29th overall pick) of the 1994 NFL Draft.

As a rookie, he led the Browns with 48 receptions for 828 yards.

With Bill Belichick as head coach, Vinny Testaverde at quarterback, Alexander at wide receiver, and Leroy Hoard at running back, the 1994 Browns compiled an 11–5 record.

After the season, Alexander was named to the 1994 NFL All-Rookie Team.

2000

In 2000, he set a Kansas City Chiefs single-season record with 1,391 receiving yards.

2007

His 90-yard touchdown reception stood as the longest completion in Michigan football history until Mario Manningham surpassed it with a 97-yard reception on November 10, 2007, at Wisconsin.
