physical, versatile JMU safety with real special-teams juice
In the 2025 season, Chase Regan delivered a steady defensive role for James Madison, logging 4 tackles in limited action while bringing a 6'0", 195-pound frame and safety versatility that fits today’s hybrid secondary looks[3][13]. His calling card has long been explosiveness and cover ability, with reliable evaluations describing him as a strong cover safety who also helps in run support and on kick returns[14][15]. JMU lists him as a 3rd-year safety in 2026, and his profile suggests a hard-nosed, fast, multi-use defender who can be a good fit for teams valuing physicality, special teams value, and developmental upside[1][7].
