Chantz Harley brings experienced, reliable depth to JMU’s secondary
Harley is a seasoned redshirt senior cornerback who gave James Madison meaningful snaps in 2025, appearing in eight games after transferring in from Maryland and Villanova. His value is the kind coaches love: veteran experience, positional versatility, and steady, assignment-sound play rather than splashy ball-hawking numbers. In 2024 at Maryland, he logged 16 tackles and a pass breakup, and he also earned JMU Athletic Director’s Scholar-Athlete honors in fall 2025. He looks like a dependable fit for a defense that wants maturity, discipline, and a low-drama DB room.
