Explosive deep-ball threat who turned UTRGV’s first season into a breakout
In the 2025 season, Xayvion Noland emerged as one of UTRGV’s most dangerous playmakers, finishing with 37 catches for 831 yards and 7 touchdowns while ranking fifth in the Southland in receiving yards and first in yards per catch (22.5). He’s a compact, lightning-quick WR who stretches defenses vertically, flips field position as a kick returner, and showed big-play consistency with four 100-yard games. The fit is clear: if your offense wants a fearless speed merchant who can stress safeties and punish mistakes, Noland is a fun one.
