Xavier Perkins brings disruptive edge energy to FAMU’s defensive front
Perkins is a **high-motor defensive lineman** whose value goes beyond the box score: recruiting analysis described him as a pass rusher with quick get-off, burst, change-of-direction ability, and effort that helps him collapse pockets and chase plays laterally, even if his build is not prototypical for an edge defender. He logged **6 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 2025** for Florida A&M, and his profile suggests a player whose best fit is a defense that prizes relentless pursuit and disruption over pure size.
