2005: Alvin is an unheralded true strong safety candidate for the 2006 NFL draft for the Mustangs who has labored in relative obscuriy for a losing program. Alvin led the team in tackles last year and is a solid form tackler who is big enough and strong enough to draw some post season accolades, and; if he performs well in his postseason workouts, he has an outside shot at a camp invitation.
