Mississippi Valley State’s DB room gets a versatile, in-the-fight defender
Barnard Jones is listed on Mississippi Valley State’s 2026 football roster as a defensive back, but there isn’t enough public stat data here to fairly grade his season performance. What stands out is the fit: Delta Devils defensive-backs coach Mario Edwards is a proven DB developer, and Jones appears to be part of a back-end unit that values versatility, physicality, and discipline. If you want a defender who can compete for snaps in a program building toughness in the secondary, Jones is the kind of under-the-radar name worth watching.
