In the 2025 season, Xavier McIver gave East Carolina a sturdy 6-foot-3, 320-pound interior presence and opened the year with 6 tackles and a sack at NC State, showing he can flash disruption when he’s on the field. A redshirt senior from Cheraw, S.C., he brings veteran experience, power at the point of attack, and the kind of lunch-pail physicality coaches love in a rotational DL. He’s not a splashy stat monster, but he looks like a useful fit for a team that wants size, toughness, and dependable gap control.
