About Xavier
Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
I have been a fan of the way Xavier plays the CB position since first watching him last summer. With another season under his belt, the junior DB seems to be even more confident out on an island. That confidence and his aggressive play style in man to man coverage are needed to lock down a WR 1 on 1. But to do it you need to be able to athletically hold your own vs the WR. Xavier stands out from the crowd because he can run deep, but he can also cut on a dime with WRs while staying right in their pocket and then timing his attack on the ball perfectly. The combine verified those quickness and agility traits too. Dawson ran a 4.34 shuttle, and an elite 6.47 L-Drill. The balance through breaks and power in his acceleration were very evident. Get this kid on campus during the camp cycle and watch him battle, but get him on your radars today.
