Xavier Lucas

Ascending defensive back prospect with a promising length/speed combo. Likely to get a look as an outside corner, but could always settle in at one of the safety spots. Played some of his best football as a senior at the South Florida powerhouse that is American Heritage, picking off four passes and turning in solid performances against both Chaminade-Madonna Prep and Jacksonville Trinity Christian. Size hasn’t been third-party verified, but in-person evaluations suggest that he’s over 6 feet. Does an admirable job of using the sideline to his advantage and will do his best to get his assignment off schedule. Has proven to be a pretty willing tackler, and will fight through blocks to make a stop in run support. Faster than quick at this stage. Projects as a potential multi-year starter at the Power Five level that can play both man and zone coverage.
