Jahvante Royal brings length, experience, and a physical edge to CCSU’s secondary
Royal is a 6-foot-3 to 6-foot-4 corner with a long, rangy frame and Power-conference experience who transferred to Central Connecticut after stops at Pittsburgh and New Mexico[1][4][8]. In his 2024 season at New Mexico, he played in four games before an injury ended his year, but still posted 7 tackles and 1 tackle for loss, including a season-high 4 tackles against San Diego State[8][11]. He’s the kind of CB who can match up physically, bring veteran presence, and help a defense with toughness and versatility—if you want size and experience on the outside, he’s a legit fit[8].
