ESPN names Xavier Restrepo the #6 pass-catcher in the nation

[DMoney]

When WR Xavier Restrepo signed with Miami, he was ranked the #623 player in the nation and listed as an “Athlete.” He’s underrated no more. ESPN just named him the #6 pass catcher in the nation heading into the 2024 season.

ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura writes “Restrepo had three relatively quiet seasons at Miami before 2023, when he turned in one of the best years by a receiver...

Hard to argue with the facts.

The most lowkey disliked player on the team by fans at one point last year now I have no idea where this WR core would be without him. I expect a monster year and he finally shuts up the naysayers once and for all.

He’s dedicating everything to his mother who gave him everything .
X knows what’s best for his family .

Don’t worry guys. He’s transferring to Wisconsin and Brashard Smith will finally get some meaningful snaps. -CIS

Garbage. TVD will still find a way to throw him the ball from Madison. Should’ve transferred with his boyfriend. Can’t wait to see Shemar Kirk take his snaps this year.

I love the recognition D is getting, my unbias opinion is he isn’t top10 but im just happy all of the work he’s out in is being recognized.

Pound for pound he is #1 because he is the smallest, slowest and least athletic guy on all of these lists but he still finds a way to produce as well as almost anyone in the country. Just shows u how much time and work he has put into his craft his entire life

How was he disliked? Most people just knew TVD can’t lock on to one receiver all the time.

I wouldn’t say he’s unathletic at all. The kid was a 4.5 player in high school, that’s fast for that level! He’s definitely a 4.4 man now, and if he takes his training, seriously for the combine next year, he could run a 4.3 . So little, yes, but he’s very athletic!

One of my favorite Canes at this point. Hope he stays healthy, has a great season, and gets paid.

Young man has done nothing but work his *** off since he stepped foot on campus and been a role model. Not sure WTF some of you want from a player unless there are other "criteria" involved.

He can line up against anybody in the country and say to himself he’s worked harder then his opponents , I can beat anyone.

I heard X trains to the point of collapsing and needs someone near with smelling salts just in case and to make sure he hydrates.
If I was a fellow teammate I’d stick to X like glue emulating his every move.

X is a very unselfish player as a leader X brings others with him.

A true All American clearly defined .

It would be nice if one or two dudes could step up and help him out.
