18-Year-Old Pitt Freshman Cornerback Mason Alexander Tragically Dies in Car Crash
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Mason Alexander, a promising young cornerback with a bright future, tragically lost his life in a car accident on Saturday night in Indiana. He was just 18 years old and a freshman at Pittsburgh. The unfortunate news came from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, who reported that Alexander was a passenger in a white BMW. This vehicle attempted to overtake another car on Florida Road in Fishers, Indiana, just as it reached the crest of a hill.

At that moment, a Toyota Rav4 was approaching from the opposite direction. Both drivers realized the impending danger and tried to maneuver out of a collision. The BMW swerved off the road, collided with a tree, and subsequently caught fire. Alexander was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

Adding to the grief, the Pittsburgh Football team expressed their sorrow on social media, commemorating their lost teammate and friend with a heartfelt message.

Back in December, Mason Alexander had committed to joining Pitt’s 2025 roster—a decision made in anticipation of a promising athletic career. Pitt’s head coach, Pat Narduzzi, shared his profound shock and sadness upon hearing the news. “Mason had already made such a positive impact in his short time with us,” Narduzzi noted. “He was proud to be a Panther, and we felt honored to have him in our family.”

Standing at six feet and weighing 180 pounds, Alexander was among the top recruits of Pitt’s latest signing class. Enrolled since January, he was set to participate in the team’s spring practice following the current break.

Mason’s high school days were spent playing receiver and defensive back at Hamilton Southeastern High, located near Indianapolis. He was brought into Pitt by Archie Collins, the defensive backs coach, who praised Mason for his energy and positivity back in December.

Only last week, Alexander had met with media for the first time, expressing gratitude towards Coach Archie. “Coach Archie always made a point of asking whether I wanted to talk football or just chat,” Mason shared. “His way of breaking things down made learning faster and more engaging.”

Peyton Daniels, now a junior at Butler and a high school peer of Alexander, shared a tribute on social media. Posting a photo of their high school days together, Daniels wrote, “Finding the right words is tough. Mason had an incredible way of lighting up every room. His joy was infectious, and he had a knack for brightening your day with just a smile. Mason was truly extraordinary. Rest easy, #15.”
