About Xavier
Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
Amongst what seems to be a never-ending list of returning skills, Xavier Paulino Xavier Paulino 6'0" | 185 lbs | DL Bayonne | 2026 State NJ might be one of their only returning linemen. The first thing that you notice notice is that he wins and beats people with speed. Complimenting his speed is the desire to chase sideline-to-sideline. No defender is too far away from Paulino, as evidenced by his epic pursuit angle way down field as the backside end that prevented a touchdown from being reflected on the scoreboard. Additionally, likely due to his wrestling background Paulino is a very good tackler. He works to lock out his arms and recognizes reach. Areas where Paulino can continue to develop would be in his stance. His get off and explosion can improve if he adopts a power angle philosophy. Additionally, I would love to see him disengage with his blocks – particularly a rip move.
