Jalen Bainer is a disruptive, ball-hawking CB who keeps making plays for San José State
Bainer’s 2024 season showed real starter value: 23 tackles, a touchdown, two pass breakups, a tackle for loss, and his first career interception, capped by a Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week honor in 2025. At 5'10", 186, he looks like a competitive, active corner who plays with production and urgency rather than just size. For a team, he stands out as a dependable, senior defensive back with playmaking instincts and proven week-to-week impact.
