Don't be surprised to hear Xavier Smith's name called on NFL draft day.
The Florida A&M wide receiver led Team Robinson to a 10-3 victory over Team Gaither in the 2023 HBCU Legacy Bowl at Tulane University's Yulman Stadium in New Orleans on Saturday. The HBCU Legacy Bowl is an all-star game put in place to highlight the best NFL draft-eligible players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and nobody stood out more than Smith.
He finished with eight catches for 92 yards and the game's only touchdown, which broke up a defensive battle.
Smith's performance drew rave reviews:
