Xavier Hasan's compact build, top-end speed, and overall skill set remind us of Deonte Banks. Hasan has more established speed on the track at the same stage. Banks saw more opportunities on offense, while Hasan shows his playmaking ability as a return man. 

Coordinated, explosive cornerback with ball production and playmaking ability. Measured in at around 5-foot-11, 190 pounds with 30.25-inch arms as a junior. Already fairly filled out. Has flashed very good speed on the track, steadily improving his 100 meter times, dipping into the 10.6 second range as a junior, an elite mark for a corner prospect. Stars as a corner and return man for one of the better high school programs in North Carolina. Smooth and controlled in coverage. Has quick feet and can easily redirect. Has the top end speed to open up and run stride-for-stride on vertical routes. Instinctive in breaking on the football and has plus ball skills for the position. Combined for 10 interceptions as a sophomore and junior. Has solid physicality as a tackler. Flashes his playmaking ability as a return man, taking back three kicks and one put for touchdowns as a junior, with several against  top competition. May not be the most physically imposing corner, but has plenty of size. Younger for the cycle, turning 17 years-old in August of his senior year. A well-rounded corner prospect with the upside to develop into an early round draft pick.
