Jalen Newman brings proven Ivy League production and steady ball skills to Monmouth’s secondary
Newman is a veteran defensive back with a track record of durability and playmaking: at Princeton, he appeared in 22 consecutive games, then in 2024 logged 16 tackles and 2 passes defended after a 2023 season with 29 tackles and an interception. His differentiator is consistency, not flash—he reads routes well, stays available, and has shown he can contribute against quality opponents, including a pick against Harvard. For a team needing a reliable, assignment-sound DB who won’t beat himself, he looks like a solid fit.
