USC fans should definitely be excited about Bear Alexander and what the Georgia transfer can do for the Trojans. Georgia had big plans for him this season, so it’s not as though the Bulldogs were happy to let him go, thinking they had the rest of their defensive roster filled out. No, it’s not like that. Our partners at UGA Wire will tell you that.
USC is getting a player with a lot of upside, but that obviously invites the question: Will that upside translate into realized potential? Will these positive possibilities be fulfilled, or will they be squandered?
The optimistic view for USC and Bear Alexander rests on one core pillar: Shaun Nua.
USC’s defensive line coach knows how to develop elite talent. He turned Aidan Hutchinson into the 2021 Heisman Trophy runner-up at Michigan, behind Bryce Young of Alabama. When Nua gets a chance to work with a top-flight prospect, he has shown he can deliver the goods.
It’s not just Alex Grinch who is coaching the Bear; it’s Shaun Nua. That might be the detail here which unlocks Bear Alexander’s potential.
