Xavier Thompson brings size, recruiting pedigree, and proven ball production to Memphis’s secondary
Xavier Thompson is a **6'1" Memphis defensive back** with legit coverage upside: he was a **consensus three-star recruit** ranked **No. 77 nationally among cornerbacks by 247Sports**, and his high school production included **37 tackles, 5 pass breakups, and 4 interceptions as a sophomore** plus **39 total tackles in 20 junior games**. He looks like a fit for a team that wants length and experience in the secondary, with a profile built more on steady coverage ability and playmaking than flashy hype; the main question is how quickly that athleticism translates against college receivers.
