The Xavier Watts type career curve isn't one seen all that often in modern college football but the All-American is making the most of his final year.
The Omaha, Neb. product came to Notre Dame in the 2020 recruiting class as a wide receiver. He saw playing time in two games that Covid year, but injuries to the defense in 2021 meant he was asked to change roles, something he gladly did.
Watts has clearly learned a lot during his time at Notre Dame but what has he taken in since his 2023 breakout season? Watts recorded 52 tackles, seven interceptions, and half of a sack last season in what he described as "the most fun I've ever had playing football". "Sleep for me," said Watts, "I used to go to bed around 1:00 a.m. but now I'm like an old man and go to bed really early, like 10 ".
