Notre Dame WR Xavier Southall is a developmental PWO with Blue-Chip DNA
Xavier Southall is a 2024 Notre Dame wide receiver listed on the Fighting Irish roster as a **preferred walk-on**, which makes him more of a developmental add than an immediate stat-sheet driver. His main differentiator is pedigree: he comes from IMG Academy and is the son of a 1988 Notre Dame national title team starter, suggesting he understands the standard and the pressure that comes with it. For a program, he’s a fit if you value upside, culture, and long-term depth at WR over instant production.
