🚨 PORTAL SPOTLIGHT 🚨
Xavier Styles | SAFETY | Robert Morris
6’2” | 195 lbs | 3 Years of Eligibility
A long, athletic defensive back, @XavierStyles12 is officially entering the transfer portal and looking for a program where he can make an immediate impact in the secondary.
Styles brings an ideal safety frame, positional versatility, and proven on-field production. During the 2025 season, he logged 36 total tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 1 interception, and 6 pass breakups, while logging 547 total snaps. His performance earned him an 82.8 overall defensive grade and an 89.1 coverage grade from PFF, highlighting his effectiveness on the back end.
He has the length and range to operate as a high safety, paired with the physicality to step downhill in run support and disrupt plays around the ball. His skill set allows him to align in multiple looks and contribute early in a variety of defensive schemes.
What separates @XavierStyles12 is his production, upside, and competitive mindset — he’s hungry for opportunity, locked in, and ready to step into a defense where his presence is felt right away. He’s not looking to wait; he’s looking to compete, contribute, and elevate a secondary immediately.
