Xavier Leigh brings proven FCS production and big-play burst to North Dakota
Xavier Leigh arrives at North Dakota after a strong 2024 at Sacred Heart, where he rushed for 517 yards and 5 touchdowns on 93 carries, adding 11 catches, and his 2025 game log shows continued efficiency with multiple 60+-yard performances[7][8][5]. His calling card is versatility: he has shown he can handle volume, create chunk gains, and contribute in the passing game, which makes him more than a one-down back[4][7]. For a team looking for a mature, productive back with experience and upside, he looks like a useful fit if you want reliability with occasional pop[13][7].
