Xavier Oliphant gives Cal Poly a veteran, ball-disrupting corner
In the 2023 season, Xavier Oliphant showed up as a reliable, experienced Cal Poly cornerback, playing in all 11 games with 22 tackles, 19 solo stops, five pass breakups, and even five kick returns for 97 yards, which points to a versatile, high-motor defender who can help in coverage and on special teams.[3] His value is less about eye-popping raw production and more about steady availability, physical play, and the kind of secondary presence that can fit a defense needing a smart, multi-use veteran.[3][4]
