Jez Janvier brings size, versatility, and real pass-protection upside to Southern Miss
Janvier is the kind of lineman coaches love: a massive 6-5, 305-plus-pound blocker with position flexibility, experience on both sides of the ball, and a reputation for cleaning up the pocket rather than creating headlines. In 2024, he played 535 snaps at right guard at Eastern Michigan and allowed zero sacks in 284 dropbacks, while Southern Miss lists him as an offensive lineman after earlier defensive-line work. His edge is toughness and adaptability, making him a strong fit for a team that values plug-and-play depth and veteran reliability.
