Veteran Houston DB with elite speed and special-teams value
JD Rhym is a fast, long corner/DB for Houston whose biggest calling cards are top-end speed, quick acceleration, and versatility across defense and special teams; in Houston’s 2024 season he played all 12 games and logged 135 special-teams snaps, then in 2025 he again contributed primarily on teams while earning an 83.3 special-teams grade against West Virginia. He brings Power-5 experience from Auburn, where he recorded 20 career tackles and an interception, and his blend of length, press ability, and willingness to do the dirty work makes him a useful fit for teams needing depth, coverage tools, and reliable special-teams juice.[6][3][2]
