Jaylen Graves brings a disruptive, high-upside presence to Norfolk State’s defensive front
Jaylen Graves is a freshman defensive tackle for Norfolk State in the 2026 season, listed at No. 93 and already active in the rotation; through the opener, he recorded 1 tackle in a 56-0 win. His profile suggests a developmental interior lineman with room to grow into more snaps, and his fit will hinge on adding size and consistency against older, stronger college blockers. For a team, the appeal is upside: a young DT who can be molded, but the current tape and stat line point to a prospect rather than a finished product.
