Former South Carolina Gamecock wide receiver Xavier Legette is making waves both on and off the football field. Now with the Carolina Panthers, the dynamic rookie is already drawing attention for his playmaking skills—but his influence is quickly expanding into the music scene.
Legette, a native of South Carolina, has quickly become a fan favorite. It’s not just his athletic ability and standout rookie season that have fans talking—it’s his Southern charm, distinct accent, and signature swagger that have helped him shine off the field too. His social media moments—whether it’s rocking a sharp suit at the Kentucky Derby or being mic’d up at a pro hockey game—have gone viral time and time again. Now, his latest venture has people buzzing.
Legette recently appeared front and center on the cover art for rap sensation GloRilla’s latest single, “Typa.” The unlikely crossover between two rising stars—one dominating on the gridiron, the other on the music charts—has sparked major excitement, especially among South Carolina fans who are proudly celebrating their former WR1’s latest spotlight.
On the football side, Legette wrapped up an impressive rookie year with 49 receptions, nearly 500 yards, and four touchdowns—ranking just behind veteran Adam Thielen in the Panthers’ receiving corps. As he enters his second season, expectations are sky-high for Legette to evolve into a key offensive weapon in Carolina.
As for GloRilla, details around the new single and potential projects remain under wraps—but if Legette’s presence on the cover is any hint, there’s something big brewing for both stars.
