Mercer’s Xavier Jennings is a blue-collar, elite pass-protecting right tackle with All-America-level polish
In the 2025 season, Xavier Jennings started all 12 games at right tackle for Mercer and did not allow a sack in 858 offensive snaps, finishing with a 78.2 PFF grade and a nation-best 89.6 pass-blocking grade among FCS tackles. He was a first-team All-Southern Conference pick and earned FCS All-America honors, which tracks with the tape: strong leverage, dependable anchor, and the kind of steady, low-mistake play coaches love. Add in his academic honors and veteran profile, and he looks like a plug-and-play fit for a team that wants toughness, consistency, and protection on the edge.
