Idaho State freshman CB Tiwan Jones brings quick, young cover talent with room to grow
Tiwan Jones is a freshman cornerback for Idaho State in the 2026 season, listed at 5'9" and 169 pounds, and he arrives from Lakewood High School in Paramount, California, where he helped anchor a playoff secondary. Idaho State’s own signing notes point to him as part of a deep young defensive back group, which suggests the Bengals see him as a developmental piece with real upside in coverage and special-teams value. He looks like a fit for a team that wants speed, competitiveness, and a corner who can grow into the role rather than one already finished.
