MinerTalk: Safety Xavier Smith is coming off a breakout 2025 season for UTEP.
The veteran safety played in all 12 games with 10 starts, finishing third on the team with 78 tackles while leading all UTEP defensive backs in stops. Smith also recorded five pass breakups, a tackle for loss and a fumble recovery.
His biggest moment came at Texas, where he recorded his first career interception by picking off Arch Manning in the end zone. Smith also had 10 tackles against both Liberty and Sam Houston.
Now entering 2026, Smith is expected to be a key piece of UTEP’s defense. We caught up with him at fall camp to discuss his development and expectations.
“It’s just a blessing to be back. The end of last year, I had a couple injuries that I had to take care of.”
