TJ Neal brings veteran, all-conference-caliber production to UTRGV’s secondary
In the 2025 season, TJ Neal was a high-volume, do-it-all defensive back for UTRGV, finishing with 69 tackles, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 interception-return touchdown while earning Phil Steele preseason All-Southland first-team recognition for 2026. He looks like a tone-setter: physical at the point of attack, reliable in run support, and proven against the FCS grind after a 12-game, 11-start season. If your team needs a DB who plays like every snap matters, Neal fits the bill.
