Noblesville’s Timothy Alexander recently participated in the 9th annual Offense-Defense Bowl Week festivities that took place in Orlando and played in the All-American Bowl in the Citrus Bowl stadium on Jan. 3.
“I love football,” the 11-year-old Noblesville East Middle School student said. “This is my third year being selected as an All-American and I know it is a huge honor to be able to go and play.”
While attending an Offense-Defense Football Camp this summer, Alexander was named an MVP and Offense-Defense All-American and was invited to participate in the event. Alexander, a defensive back for the Noblesville Grinders, was chosen from among a group of thousands of young athletes from across the country to participate.
The Offense-Defense Youth All-American Bowl is part of a week-long series of events, including the televised All-American Bowl, an all-star football game showcasing 88 of the top high school seniors in the country and has previously featured current NFL pros such as Cam Newton, Joe Haden and Dez Bryant.
Alexander, the son of Ken and Jen Alexander, has been playing football almost since he could walk, his mom said. He loves the game and has dreams of playing in the NFL.
