Coach Hunt on Alex: "Greenie came in and played earlier than a lot of guys. He played as a freshman and was a huge part of the season we had in 2015. I remember playoff catches against James Madison and he had huge catch against Lehigh. He worked harder on his own than most kids I've ever seen. He competed against himself in practice with great pride and energy. He wanted to be successful, and that's something he can take with him in whatever he does. Obviously, this year was cut short because of injuries but he will go down as a guy who made a lot of plays in that playoff run."
