Army LB Xavier Ryan: High-activity, disruptive edge presence with proven high school production
Xavier Ryan brings a proven playmaking profile to Army, after a 2023-24 high school season at Houston County in which he posted 86 total tackles, 6.0 sacks, 10 quarterback hurries, and 58 solo tackles, production that suggests a fast, disruptive outside linebacker who lives in the backfield.[1] Army lists him as an outside linebacker and notes he did not see action in 2025, so the most useful lens is his ceiling: motor, pressure creation, and tackling volume rather than current college stats.[3] He looks like a fit for a system that values effort, physicality, and assignment discipline.[1][3]
