Jalen Tate brings veteran range and local pedigree to Furman’s secondary
Jalen Tate, a 2026 Furman safety and former Georgia State transfer, enters as a seasoned defensive back with experience in 37 college games and 56 career tackles, including 13 in the 2023 season. Furman’s staff has viewed him as a flexible piece who has played both safety and corner, which boosts his value in a deep, matchup-driven secondary. He’s the kind of transfer that matters because he offers maturity, versatility, and a Greenville-area homecoming story with immediate rotation upside.
