His brother is a freshman DT for Georgia Tech.  Was a four star recruit and was rated as the #5 recruit in NJ last year but he missed his senior season due to injury.  Xavier had 10 TFL as a senior, which is the same KJ had at St Peter's for his sophomore and junior seasons.

I think one of the reasons Xavier didn't get the recognition KJ did is because St Peter's had a horrible year in 2023, going 1-9 overall and 0-5 in league play (they were 7-4 and 8-4 the two previous years).

He is very strong.  325 bp.  475 squat.  500 lbs deadlift.

KJ 's Hudl page says he had a 325 bp, 545 squat and a  425 deadlift.  I wonder if he got the squat and the deadlift confused?  Either way,  I think their power number are pretty comparable.

Xavier was a freshman AA.  He emerged early, likely because he was so strong at a young age.  It looks to me as though he put on a lot of bad weight after that.  See him listed at 320 his sophomore year.  There are some pictures where he looks really overweight.

I think the added weight hurt his play and his evaluations dropped accordingly.  It looks to me as though he lost the bad weight for his senior season and had a much better year.

Was impressed with his tape at DT, where it looks like he is well suited to playing 2 technique, and at OG.  I think he could help us on both sides of the line, though I suspect he will end up at DT.

His weight numbers appear all over the place, ranging from 255 to at least 320 but his twitter says 290 now and I think that is about right.
