Versatile, veteran SJSU safety who keeps trending upward
Jalen Apalit-Williams is a reliable, ascending **strong safety** for San Jose State who posted a career-best **53 tackles in 2025** and finished his Spartan career with **80 tackles, 4 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, 1 sack, and 1 forced fumble** across 46 games. He stands out for his experience, leadership, and all-around steadiness—he was a 2025 captain, made the Academic All-Mountain West list four times, and earned a Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year watch-list nod. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a smart, durable, physical secondary piece rather than a flashy stat-stuffer.[1][4][17]
