Jaycee Houston brings long, versatile safety upside to Marshall
Houston is a **3-star defensive back** who projects as a safety for Marshall, with the size/length of a modern deep defender at **6-2** and experience at both corner and safety, which gives the Herd lineup flexibility right away.[1][2] He signed with Marshall in December 2025 and enrolled in January 2026, choosing the Herd over several regional offers, a sign he was a legitimate recruit with multi-school traction.[2][4] Why care: he looks like a coverable, scheme-versatile defensive back who can grow into more than just a depth piece if his frame and technique keep developing.[1][5]
