Xavier Rathan-Mayes (born April 29, 1994) is a Canadian basketball player. He played college basketball for the Florida State Seminoles of the Atlantic Coast Conference. His position is shooting guard.
Born in Markham, Ontario, he started playing high school basketball at Christian Faith Center Academy in North Carolina. However, the NCAA was declining to accept credits received from the school, prompting him to transfer to Huntington Prep School in West Virginia. At Huntington Prep School, he played with current NBA player Andrew Wiggins, and he was considered a top 30 player in his class.
He was ruled ineligible to play in his freshman season by the NCAA. A review by the NCAA Eligibility Center determined that some of the coursework he had completed during high school didn't meet NCAA eligibility requirements. There were problems with online courses he had taken while at Huntington Prep as well as concerns about his time at Christian Faith Center. He received a redshirt for the season.
He started off slow to start the season. He didn't play in the Seminoles first game of the season. He made his debut in the next game against Northeastern and was held scoreless. In the third game of the season, he scored 5 points against the Providence Friars. However, after this his statistics improved quickly as in the next two games he scored 22 and 26 points against UMass and The Citadel respectively. Other notable games he had were against North Carolina, when he scored 35 points; against Miami Hurricanes, when he also scored 35 points, including 30 points in the last 4:38 of the game; and 30 points against Clemson. He averaged 14.9 points per game, becoming only the second freshman to lead Florida State in scoring. He was named to the All-ACC Freshman Team
