OJ Vaughan Jr. is a depth-chart safety with upside at Troy
OJ Vaughan Jr. is a 5-foot-9, 189-pound safety for Troy who has yet to appear in game action through the 2025 season, but he has been in the program long enough to know the system and compete for a bigger role in 2026. His value is more about fit than flash right now: a young, in-house defender who has developed behind the scenes and can grow into a reliable, assignment-sound piece in Troy’s secondary. If you want immediate production, he’s not there yet; if you want a developmental defensive back with clear roster familiarity, he’s worth a closer look.
