Xavier Nurse brings burst, production, and edge-rush versatility to Samford
Xavier Nurse is a proven disruptor for Samford, posting 33 tackles, 22 solo stops, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and 1 interception in the 2023 season, then adding 10 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles in the 2024 season. He has the kind of motor that shows up in splash plays, and Samford’s staff clearly trusted his impact enough to feature him as a graduate student edge defender in 2024 and on pro day in 2025. If your team wants a fast, aggressive DE who creates chaos rather than just eats blocks, Nurse is the fun kind of headache for offenses.
