Jessiah McGrew is a ball-hawking FIU safety who made an immediate impact as a freshman
McGrew’s calling card is playmaking: in the 2025 season, he logged 68 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 5 pass breakups, earning Freshman All-American and All-CUSA honors. He stands out for his coverage instincts and takeaway ability—his 83.6 coverage grade and strong forced-incompletion and interception rates point to a DB who can erase throws, not just finish tackles. At 6'2", he brings length and range, and his production suggests he fits best for a defense that values center-field vision, opportunistic turnovers, and confident single-high play.
