Buffalo’s Xair Stevenson brings range, toughness, and two-way playmaking upside
Stevenson enters Buffalo as a redshirt freshman safety with a physical, high-motor profile and proven defensive production from high school, where he earned all-city and all-state honors and made impact plays all over the field. Reports consistently describe him as fast, athletic, and versatile enough to fit at safety, corner, linebacker, or star, with standout traits including downhill pop, strong hands, and the ability to win in space. Buffalo redshirted him in 2025, so the key question is development, but his ceiling as an aggressive, hybrid defender makes him an intriguing fit for a team that values versatility and special-teams edge.
