Tackles
“Xavier is a tremendous football player and an even better representative of his team. He’s electric with the ball in his hands; a true game-changer who can score from anywhere on the field. But what makes him stand out is how complete his game is. He’s a willing blocker on the perimeter, a physical and instinctive defender, and a leader who clearly elevates everyone around him.”
Kevin Leamy
Head Coach - Schalick High
