The third freshman to be highlighted from Glassboro's 2027 class, Xavier was deadly last season not only as a receiver but as a return man as well. Taking the ball to the endzone 2 times on the kickoff and 3 times as a punt returner, Xavier was a headache for all special team coordinators he faced as it was always difficult to close in on Xavier once the ball was in his hands. Xavier can truly stop on a dime and move in the opposite direction seamlessly.rnrnAs a receiver, he found the end zone 7 times and amassed 657 receiving yards. Being a long stride runner, Xavier had break away speed that made it impossible for any defender to try to catch him. The Sabb family is one of the most talented football families in the state.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a0be"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19055410/6576423a5ef71401e44e0454' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656d2413bc470"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[910880],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Pennington's [player_tooltip player_id='910880' first='Luca' last='Saurman'] has the potential to be one of the top receivers coming out of NJ in 2027.
