Western Carolina DT J’evon Bush: promising redshirt freshman with Florida-line pedigree
J’evon Bush enters the 2026 season as a redshirt freshman at Western Carolina after not seeing game action in 2025, so the on-field college sample is still a blank slate. What makes him intriguing is the background: he was identified as one of Florida’s top defensive tackles by Florida Varsity Rivals and posted 93 total tackles, 16 solo stops, 2 tackles for loss, a sack, and a fumble recovery in his senior prep season at Jones High. That combination of active hands, run-defense production, and early upside makes him a developmental fit for a team looking for a sturdy interior presence.
