Brian Kelly is working on bolstering his defensive line in the 2025 recruiting class. That search has led him to Denton, Texas, where he found a three-star defensive lineman that could make a difference at the next level.
Xavier Ukponu is a 6-foot-2, 275-pound, three-star defensive lineman from Denton, Texas, where he plays for Guyer High School. The Guyer Wildcats finished the 2023 season 7-4 with a loss to the Coppell Cowboys in the first round of the 6A D2 playoffs.
Ukponu has no Crystal Ball projections at this time but Texas is a 34% favorite to land him per On3.
Film Analysis: Ukponu is a powerful defensive end that does a great job using his hands to shed blocks.
