DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga. — A top Georgia recruit for the Class of 2023 announced where he'll be taking his football career next.
Hilton Alexander II, of Douglasville, announced which college team he committed to with #Team11. His decision was Wake Forest.
"It's one of my dream schools," Alexander said.
The wide receiver for Douglas County High School had at least 23 offers to pick from, according to Rivals.com. Alexander announced his latest offer was with Eastern Michigan University on social media Wednesday night.
The Douglasville teen announced his top five choices Thursday before confirming his final pick. Alexander tweeted a graphic earlier this week showing his top six as Georgia Tech, Pittsburg, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Wake Forest, Wisconsin and Western Kentucky.
Beyond football, Alexander has also a track star and recently posted a school-best in the 200-meter dash in April. He was the county champ in the 400-meter dash with a 49.36 as a junior, stats show.
But for Alexander, football is in his blood.
His father, Hilton Alexander was a wide receiver at Morris Brown College in Atlanta. He played professionally with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent pick in 2001.
