Deuce Alexander just went nuclear on Louisville, snagging two insane 62-yard touchdown receptions in a single game. This senior wide receiver for Ole Miss didn’t just light up the scoreboard; he matched his season-high for scores from *both* his 2024 and 2025 seasons in just one Sunday evening showdown. If you didn’t know the name Hilton Dekeith Alexander II before, you definitely do now.
Two 62-Yard Rockets to the End Zone
Talk about making an entrance! Alexander, at 21 years old, put on a speed clinic against the Cardinals. His first 62-yard touchdown was pure grit and acceleration, where he turned on the jets right after the catch and left Louisville defenders grasping at air. That’s the kind of play that gets you hyped, man. Then, not content with just one, Alexander connected with Trinidad Chambliss again for *another* 62-yard house call. This time, he had already torched the defense before the ball even arrived. It was a blazing-fast trip down the sideline, and the Rebels were rocking. To pull off two identical 62-yard scoring plays in one night? That’s just wild, and it immediately gave Ole Miss a crucial third-quarter lead. This dude is a certified burner.
From Slow Burn to Rebel Inferno
Alexander’s path to becoming Ole Miss’s speed demon wasn’t a straight line. He was a four-year letter winner back at Douglas County High School in Douglasville, Ga., and his dad, Hilton, even played three seasons in the NFL for the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints. That football bloodline is clearly paying off. His college career started slow, though. For his first two seasons, he played with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons before transferring to Ole Miss in 2025. At Wake Forest, he put up 38 receptions for 430 yards and three touchdowns over two seasons. In 2023, his freshman year, he had 2 receptions for 30 yards and 1 touchdown. He showed serious progress in 2024 with 36 receptions for 400 yards and 2 touchdowns. He kept building on that momentum after joining the Rebels, and now, in his senior season, he’s absolutely exploding.
This breakout performance against Louisville is a massive statement. Alexander isn’t just a part of the offense; he’s becoming *the* weapon. With that kind of blistering speed and the ability to turn short catches into long touchdowns, Ole Miss is going to be looking to get him the ball often. What’s next for Alexander and the Rebels? If Sunday evening was any indication, we’re in for some serious fireworks.
