Talking College Football History: Robert Alexander
Robert Alexander passed away on June 7, 2022. We re-air this podcast in honor of him.
 
We are privileged this week to have the 1976 National High School Player of the Year as our guest. His name is Robert Alexander. Robert was a product of South Charleston High School (WV) and played at West Virginia University. He struggled in the veer offense until Coach Don Nehlen arrived on the scene in 1980, Robert's senior year. Had Robert played in the I-formation his entire collegiate career, he may very well be the leading rusher in WVU history to this day, and that is quite an accomplishment considering he played after Artie Owens. Robert played for the Los Angeles Rams from 1982-1983 and I have enjoyed speaking with him over the past few months as he shared his faith and is a true follower of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
