Xavier Hamlett brings senior depth, special-teams value, and local grit to SDSU’s secondary
Hamlett is a San Diego native and senior cornerback whose value is more about reliability and upside than box-score noise: he played in 11 games in 2024, primarily on special teams, and earned his first defensive snaps late in the season at Wyoming and Boise State. He brings a developmental, versatile profile after earlier stops at Nevada and Grossmont College, where he logged 31 tackles, 6 pass breakups, and 3 interceptions over 15 games. For a team needing a competitive, experienced DB who has kept earning trust, he fits as a tough, steady depth piece with room to grow.[7][9]
