Deuce Alexander Exits With Apparent Leg Injury After Two 62‑Yard Touchdowns

His removal for evaluation could affect Ole Miss' receiving depth pending a medical diagnosis.

Overview

  • In the season opener at Nissan Stadium, Alexander had two identical 62-yard touchdown receptions and finished with 144 yards on four catches before leaving the game.
  • Shortly after his second long score, he received sideline treatment, was stretched and given fluids by team medical staff, and was escorted to the locker room for further evaluation.
  • Alexander's second touchdown put Ole Miss ahead in the third quarter but Louisville answered with its own 62-yard touchdown to tie the game 24-24.
  • Alexander transferred to Ole Miss in 2025 after two seasons at Wake Forest and is the son of former NFL player Hilton Alexander, a background that helps explain his rising role for the Rebels.
  • The injury is described in reports as an apparent lower-body issue with no official diagnosis or recovery timetable yet and the program is expected to update his status after medical checks.
