Darion Jiles brings deep-ball juice and under-the-radar upside to Southern Miss
Darion Jiles is a 2026 Auburndale, Florida, prospect committed to Southern Miss who profiles as a 6-foot, 180-pound athlete/receiver with clear big-play traits and some sneaky versatility. In 2025, he showed explosive efficiency in a small sample, totaling 90 receiving yards on 3 catches for 30.0 yards per grab and a touchdown, which screams vertical threat more than volume target[7]. Southern Miss lists him as a freshman WR, and recruiting services list him as a signed/committed prospect rather than a highly ranked blue-chip, so he looks like a developmental fit with upside if the hands and route polish keep rising[1][2][4].
