Freshman safety with size, early upside, and a clean fit for ACU’s defensive future
In the 2026 season, Jamarion Hardemon is a freshman safety at Abilene Christian listed at 6-1, 185 pounds, and he arrived with a strong prep note: 1st Team All-District as a junior at Eastern Hills HS in Fort Worth, Texas[1][6]. He’s the kind of DB who fits a development-first profile—long enough to contest throws, young enough to add strength, and already on a roster that clearly sees him as part of the secondary’s next wave[1][2]. There isn’t a meaningful college stat sheet yet, so the appeal is upside, athletic frame, and early recognition rather than production[1].
