Xavion Alford

Productive safety with an above-average frame relative to projected position. Possesses above-average height and the frame space to add bulk in college. Flashes good ball skills that manifest in strong production vs. the pass. High-points jump balls like a receiver. Owns a bigger catch radius thanks to frame. Around the ball a lot. High ceiling as a hitter thanks to downhill acceleration and frame potential. Tracks downfield throws well. Athletic enough to keep up with most receivers at the high school level. Can improve on-field strength. Does not always provide expected point-of-impact power against the run. Can get better in tackling technique consistency. Long-strider who can improve fluidity. Doesn't always take the best pursuit angles against the run. High-major safety prospect who should become quality starter at the Power 5 level with long-term NFL Draft potential.
