Albany State freshman DE Jimmyan Jones brings long, disruptive upside
Jimmyan Jones is a 6-foot-6, 230-pound freshman edge rusher at Albany State who arrives with a reputation for wrecking plays, not just finishing them—he posted 132 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 7 sacks in high school, plus 3 fumble recoveries and an interception in the 2026 signing coverage[1][3]. At Albany State, he’s already being mentioned as a possible contributor in 2026 preseason reports, which fits a player whose length, motor, and pass-rush flashes make him an intriguing fit for a defense looking for pressure off the edge[3][8].
