A player who should arguably have a five-star rating, Xavier Filsaime is the No. 3 safety in the 2024 recruiting class.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of Filsaime's impressive coverage game in the secondary, it should be noted that he is coincidentally an incredibly talented punter and could make for a great special teams option on Texas' squad.

Filsaime has incredible broad vertical jumps which elevate his defensive game beyond any other safety his size.

Known for his ability to track down both the pass and run game, Filsaime makes for a perfect defensive weapon against any offensive play by the Horns' opponents.

Just like Wingo, Filsaime has a lightning quick 10.55 finish in the 100-meter dash and can keep up with nearly any receiver he's covering.

Filsaime's natural athleticism and knowledge of the game have primed him to be an elite defensive back for the Horns and could soon see himself become Texas' starting safety.
