is an offensive lineman whose technical approach in the trenches stands out immediately. He consistently displays proper hand placement and timing when engaging defenders at the point of attack. Higdon’s balanced stance and controlled first step allow him to establish leverage quickly in both run and pass blocking situations. In the run game, he drives his legs through contact and keeps his pad level low to generate movement along the line. His ability to keep a strong base helps him anchor effectively against power rushers. Higdon also shows good awareness in pass protection, recognizing stunts and adjusting his positioning accordingly. His footwork allows him to mirror defenders and maintain the integrity of the pocket. With his physical tools and sound technique, Higdon continues to develop into a dependable presence on the offensive line.

has limited film, but is great size standing 6’3 inches tall, and showed he has a lot of potential. He played left guard in the clips I saw and he flashed some good skills. He shows good strength and does a good job at the point of attack blocking defensive players. Higdon is a player who should only get better going forward.

Big-time two-way linemen are one of the most valuable positions in any football program.

, a 6’3 and 290-pound Keystone State offensive lineman, is one of the few who already checks all of the boxes at his age. At his size, the big man had a number of private schools to choose from, but ultimately inked his name to play at Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia. Has typically been the biggest kid on the field throughout his pre-high school days and excelled in run blocking. Xavier can open up running lanes for his running backs by simply dwarfing defensive linemen in his way. Xavier also does a very good job of maintaining his blocks through the whistle, making it impossible for his opponents to even get close to the ball. There is a lot of room to go here and I’d label Higdon as a work in progress. With that said, you can’t teach the size he has. Higdon will be at a Roman Catholic program that appears to be on the rise, going 9-3 this past season–it’s first winning season in a decade. The oldest catholic school in Philly also welcomes back freshman Quarterback sensation
