Daveon Jones is a rising Navy linebacker with pro-ready size and room to climb
Daveon Jones, a 6-foot-3, 234-pound junior outside linebacker for Navy in the 2026 season, brings plus length, physical upside, and a classic Navy-edge mentality that fits a defense built on toughness and assignment discipline. Navy’s roster notes show he entered the fall third on the depth chart and had not logged varsity action in 2024 or 2025, so the appeal is more projection than production right now. If you want a developmental linebacker with size, speed potential, and a sharp fit for a rugged system, Jones is a name worth keeping on the radar.
