Xavier made plays all over the field! The best tackles in the conference had a hard time blocking him. Intelligent, fast and an endless motor. Also my best discus thrower last year as a sophomore.
Great player. 3 year stater with one year to go. Plays guard and center. Pulls well and solid pass pro. Hard worker and an excellent student. Also had an excellent sophomore year throwing the shot put.
Huge shoutout to @DDetruf (#2 QB) and @kopasjack1 (#3 WR) for finishing among the top statistical leaders in the WPIAL! Proud of the work these two put in all season! 💪💙🏈
