We. Are. So. Close.
After profiling the iconic Keith Poole yesterday, we are just two days away from the Sun Devils kicking off the 2025 season against FCS Northern Arizona. And with that, today's spotlight appropriately shines on Xavion Alford.
Growing up in East Texas, Alford was a stud. As a junior, he helped his high school team reach the Texas State Championship game, compiling 58 tackles, 20 pass breakups, and six picks along the way. Rated as a 4-star prospect and the 15th best safety in the nation, he committed to the Longhorns.
In Austin, Alford played sparingly.
