Xavier Robiou brings NFL-style size and elite explosiveness to Howard’s secondary
Robiou, a 6-foot-2, 202-pound senior DB for Howard, profiles as a physically intriguing coverage piece with real special-teams and box value: he posted 42 tackles, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup in 2024 after 27 tackles, 3 PBUs, and an interception in 2022, and he drew attention at the NFL HBCU Combine with a 43-inch vertical and 10-foot-5 broad jump. His game stands out for length, burst, and closing juice, making him a fit for a defense that wants an active, versatile back with measurable upside rather than just a stat-sheet compiler.[1][7][12]
