Townsend: "I was happy when they called.”

We are happy that we called, too!

Boy having Xavier will really allow us to do some exciting things. He seems like a really good player, hard worker, similar maybe to Noel. He's a player the defense will have to account for.

I will miss having a player like Noel around. Having Xavier will take some of that sting away.

In ‘23, Higgins and Noel were outliers in the WR room, then had huge senior seasons.

This fall will be kinda like ‘23 in the WR development process. Except that there will be five or six guys where those two were then. Only, some even faster.

With more talent reporting this summer.

Felt like Xavier always wanted to be a Cyclone, but got talked into UCF by his family to stay home.

He's a well-spoken youngster (don't take offense, Xavier, I'm in my 70s so you're a pup to me!) Same for James Neal. Enjoyed both interviews a heckuva lot.
