Draft Profile: Bio

Xavier Restrepo, a standout wide receiver for the Miami Hurricanes, hails from Deerfield Beach High School where he was a dynamic playmaker. During his high school career, he recorded over 3,000 receiving yards, 2,500 rushing yards, and scored 48 touchdowns. Restrepo chose to join the Miami Hurricanes over offers from several prestigious programs including Georgia and Michigan.

Restrepo had a remarkable college career at Miami, particularly in his senior season where he set a program single-season record with 85 catches, totaling 1,092 yards and six touchdowns. His performance earned him First Team All-ACC honors. Over his collegiate career, Restrepo demonstrated consistent improvement, contributing significantly in his freshman and sophomore seasons despite battling injuries in his junior year.

In 2023, Restrepo started all 13 games, recording five 100-yard games and leading the team in all-purpose yards. He showcased his ability to perform in critical moments, especially against top-ranked opponents and in key games such as the 2023 Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.

Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Displays good hands and ball-tracking skills, consistently making difficult catches downfield.
  • Intelligent player with a strong awareness of zone coverage, finding voids effectively.
  • Effective YAC (yards after catch) ability, showcasing solid contact balance and vision.
  • Quick off the line of scrimmage, utilizing good acceleration and suddenness to create separation.
  • Reliable pass catcher with a tendency to make body catches, showing overall good catching ability.
  • Plays with good body control, adjusting well to passes and getting feet down near the sideline.
  • Effort and technique as a blocker are commendable despite his size.
  • Creative runner with good vision in the open field, also an option for kick returns.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Lacks the ideal size and strength for an outside receiver, limited to slot roles.
  • Average speed and athleticism, limiting his ability to stretch the field vertically.
  • Struggles to create separation against press coverage from natural man corners.
  • Has a tendency to let the ball get into his body rather than catching with hands.
  • Not a dominant run blocker, struggles to sustain blocks effectively.
Scouting Report: Summary

Xavier Restrepo is a productive slot receiver with a proven track record at the collegiate level. His intelligence, route-running, and ability to make plays after the catch make him a valuable asset in short to intermediate-passing games. However, his size and athletic limitations likely restrict him to a slot-only role in the NFL.

While he may not possess the elite top-end speed or strength to be a consistent deep threat, Restrepo's quickness off the line and reliable hands ensure he can be a dependable target in crucial situations. His awareness and ability to find soft spots in zone defenses are additional assets that enhance his value.

Xavier Restrepo's potential in the NFL will likely hinge on his fit within a system that can maximize his strengths while mitigating his limitations. As a slot receiver in a West Coast or spread offense, he has the tools to contribute effectively and carve out a significant role, particularly on special teams and in specific offensive packages.
