Pat Narduzzi Releases Statement on Death of Pitt CB Mason Alexander
Pitt football received tragic news Sunday morning after early enrollee freshman cornerback Mason Alexander died in an automobile accident in Fishers, Ind. late Saturday night.
Pat Narduzzi released a statement regarding the passing of Alexander, who was a part of the Panthers’ 2025 recruiting class.
“I received a call this morning that no parent, teacher or coach ever wants to get—the news of the sudden loss of a young and promising life. Our entire program is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Mason Alexander’s passing. Mason had just enrolled at Pitt in January following his early graduation from Indiana’s Hamilton Southeastern High School. Even during that short time, he made a great impression on all of us. Mason was proud and excited to be a Panther, and we felt the same way about having him in our Pitt family. He will always be a Panther to us. The Alexander family and Mason’s many loved ones and friends will be in our prayers,” Narduzzi said.

Alexander, 18, was a passenger in a fatal crash on Florida Road, near Southeastern parkway and Interstate 69, around 9 p.m. on Saturday, March 1, according to a press release from the the Hamilton County (Ind.) sheriff’s office.
Alexander was a four-star cornerback recruit out of Hamilton Southeastern High School and enrolled early to the University of Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh media spoke with Alexander for the first time on Wednesday, and he said his goal was to make it to the NFL.
