experienced JMU safety with size and depth-chart value
In the 2024 season, James Madison safety Jahquil Batts was a low-volume but usable depth piece, appearing in six games and recording his first career tackle in the regular-season finale against Marshall. The 6-foot, 201-pound redshirt junior brings a sturdier frame for the position, plus valuable program familiarity after developing through JMU’s system and a year at Jireh Prep. The upside here is more about fit, physicality, and readiness than flashy stat production—he looks like a disciplined, roster-stable safety who can help in rotation and special teams.
