Tulane Green Wave Season Preview: Pats Deep Dive Recruiting @beinthekneaux
Class of 27 WR
Alex Fontenot- @AlexFontenot27
6-3/180
Alexandria, LA
A tall, polished pass-catcher with excellent route discipline, strong hands, and big-play explosiveness, he exploded as a junior in 2025 and has rapidly climbed into the top tier of Louisiana’s 2027 WR class. Rated a high three-star (247Sports: 86 rating, WR #134–150 nationally, LA #34–41), he ranks among the top 40–50 prospects in-state across services and features on regional watchlists (Stars of the Boot, DandyDon, PrepRedzone CenLA). Fontenot pairs elite production with size and technique, drawing Power 4 offers and official visit momentum as one of CenLa’s premier perimeter threats.
• Route polish & technique: Disciplined releases, crisp cuts, and tempo control create easy throwing windows at all depths.
• Size + ball skills: Tall frame, strong hands, and body control excel in contested-catch and red-zone situations.
• Big-play threat: High yards-per-catch average and scoring ability (17 TDs in limited action) make him a constant vertical/score threat.
• Intangibles: 3.5 GPA, high work ethic/motor, active self-recruiter (@AlexFontenot27 on X with frequent updates), and coachable demeanor. Competitive in camps and 7-on-7 circuits.
• Upside: Still filling out frame but projects as a classic boundary WR with early college impact potential.
Alexandria star Alex Fontenot continues to make his name as one of the Division-I talents in a really good Louisiana 2027 wide receiver class.
Selected among the top performers Saturday.
This season I recorded 1,047 yards, 62 receptions, and 17 touchdowns — even while sitting out several full games due to blowouts. I’m a disciplined route runner with strong hands, big-play ability, and the work ethic to keep leveling up. My goal is to compete at the next level and contribute early. I’d appreciate your evaluation — please check out my Hudl film below.
