As a College Recruit
The best defensive back prospect from the state of Iowa in the internet recruiting era. An imposing, physical presence over the middle of the field, standing over 6-foot-2 and wielding significant striking power. A strong form tackler in space. Plays with instincts in as a cover two safety and has the ball skills to come down with contested catches both at safety and receiver. Registers as a good athlete at the position.

Xavier Nwankpa evaluation at All-American Bowl
Iowa signee Xavier Nwankpa is a jumbo safety at close to 6-foot-3 and over 200 pounds. After seeing Nwankpa at The Opening Finals and again at the All-American Bowl, we think he might be more of a box safety or linebacker long term. The size and physicality are there. He just has a ways to go in man coverage.
