Brandon Jones is a rangy McNeese safety with playmaking upside
Brandon Jones entered the 2026 season as a McNeese sophomore safety after a freshman year that flashed real ball production: in the 2025 season, he posted 23 tackles and 2 interceptions, including a 12-yard pick return, while appearing in four games for the Cowboys. He looks like a classic defense-safety fit—active, instinctive, and willing to trigger downhill—but the sample is still small, so his next step is proving he can turn splash plays into week-to-week consistency. For a team needing range and turnover juice, he’s worth a hard look.
