Emory Jones III brings Ivy-ready size and fresh upside to Dartmouth’s secondary
In the 2026 season, freshman DB Emory Jones III is a 6-foot-1, 184-pound defensive back at Dartmouth who arrives with legit long-frame upside, versatility, and early-career developmental buzz rather than a loaded stat sheet[12][1]. He’s a Southfield, Michigan product from Cass Technical who also plays track, which usually points to the kind of speed, urgency, and competitive edge coaches love in a secondary piece[4]. The big question is not talent—it’s how quickly he translates that athletic profile into snap-to-snap consistency and playmaking on an Ivy roster that values smart, reliable defenders[12][13].
