Navy freshman CB Jaxson Jewell brings length, upside, and a service-academy edge
Jaxson Jewell is a 6-foot-2, 180-pound cornerback entering his sophomore season at Navy in 2026, and his biggest calling card is obvious: uncommon length for the position with room to keep adding strength. Navy lists him on the 2026 roster, while ESPN and CBS identify him as an active Navy CB, but publicly available stat lines are sparse, so the better story is projection—he looks like a developmental cover man with the frame to challenge bigger receivers and the discipline Navy values. He’s a fit for teams that want a high-character, physical defensive back with upside rather than an instant stat-sheet star.
