Xamarion Gordon is a safety who has not played this season; the last season with a stat line was 2025, at Coastal Carolina.
Gordon hits like a linebacker and still takes the ball away. The four seasons span two programs and four head coaches: Donte Williams, Lincoln Riley, Tim Beck and Jeremiah Johnson. The first career honor came in 2025: All-Sun Belt. A game that shows it: 8 tackles against Georgia Southern — Week 12, 2025.

What the box score actually says
62 tackles. 5 passes defended. 2 interceptions. 2.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
