Caleb Jones is a ball-hawking DB on the rise after a breakout 2025
In the 2025 season, Caleb Jones earned NEC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors after transitioning from running back to defensive back, and he played in all 12 games with 34 tackles and one pass breakup for Duquesne[1]. That kind of rapid position switch matters: it suggests real athletic versatility, a high football IQ, and a player who can learn fast under pressure[1]. He also flashed early with a team-high six tackles in his first game on defense at Pitt, which is the kind of instant-impact energy coaches love[1].
