Xavier Wilson Xavier Wilson 6'2" | 170 lbs | DB Choate Rosemary Hall | 2029 State New E , a transfer from St. John Henry Newman School to Choate Rosemary Hall for the fall of 2026, brings a unique background and strong defensive skill set at 6’2”, 172 pounds. Coming from Canadian football, Wilson is accustomed to a faster-paced, pass-heavy style of play, which shows up in his comfort level in coverage. He is a physical defensive back who isn’t afraid to deliver big hits, while also showing the ability to hold his own in both man and zone schemes. His awareness in zone coverage stands out, as he consistently reads the quarterback’s eyes—especially in the flats—and puts himself in position to make plays on the ball.

Wilson’s versatility allows him to project as both a corner and a safety, with the ability to match up in man coverage or drop into deeper zones effectively. His physicality combined with his instincts makes him a reliable presence in the secondary, and his experience in a pass-heavy system gives him an advantage in reading offensive concepts. While his overall game is strong, improving his ability to locate the ball and turn his head quicker when it’s in the air will help elevate his play even further and reduce potential penalties.

Another standout from Canada’s 6ixside 7v7 squad, 2028 DB Xavier Wilson. Xavier is a player who looked the part immediately with a strong, lengthy frame that fits the mold for next-level DBs. The biggest aspect of Xavier’s game that stood out was his physicality and gritty edge he brought to the field. He didn’t hesitate to press receivers at the line of scrimmage and will challenge them at the catch point as well. He shows the instincts to play through the receiver’s hands, forcing incompletions. Fluid hips and shifty feet help him move and change direction on a dime while in coverage.
