Young UNLV DB with size, speed, and upside
Jalen Baldwin is a developmental UNLV defensive back whose 2024 role was still emerging, with two appearances and 9 total tackles showing early rotational value rather than headline production[1][7]. In the 2024 season, he looked like a classic upside pick: 5-foot-10, 165 pounds, originally a walk-on, and the younger brother of Rebel safety Johnathan Baldwin, which hints at both football feel and a competitive DNA[1]. He fits best as a high-energy depth piece with long-term special-teams and coverage potential.
