6-foot-6 in-state TE with real red-zone juice
Xavier Anderson is a freshman tight end for West Virginia in 2026, bringing rare size (6-6, 215) and in-state pedigree to the Mountaineers after starring at Spring Mills. In his 2025 high school season, he posted 45 catches for 659 yards and 11 touchdowns while also dominating on defense, a dual-threat profile that hints at toughness, competitiveness, and straight-up football junkyard-dog energy. Recruiters liked the athletic ceiling, multi-position background, and local feel-good fit—he looks like a developmental mismatch weapon, especially if WVU wants a big-bodied TE who can grow into a legit red-zone headache.
