Xavier Walton brings ball-hawking, all-conference safety upside
Xavier Walton profiles as a high-level transfer safety with real playmaking juice: at Angelo State in the 2023-25 span, he earned AP and AFCA All-America honors in 2025, was the Lone Star Conference Defensive Back of the Year, and produced 6 interceptions, 9 pass breakups, 68 tackles, and a sack in 2025. He also showed bigger-picture impact with 108 career tackles, 8 interceptions, 13 PBUs, 3 forced/recovered fumbles, and a blocked punt. If you need a competitive, instinctive defensive back who creates turnovers and has already won at multiple levels, he looks like a strong fit.[2][3]
