Freshman DB Sian John brings size, early-tackle production to MVSU
Sian John is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound freshman defensive back for Mississippi Valley State who has already logged 3 tackles in the 2026 season, including 2 solo stops in the opener and a tackle-assist in Week 2. He profiles as a physical, downhill defensive back with enough size to hold up near the line and in run support, which makes him an interesting developmental piece for a secondary that needs toughness. At this stage, the appeal is upside and attitude more than splash stats: he’s active, available, and already getting reps, which is exactly what you want from a young DB learning on the fly.
