Josiah Jones brings size, range, and ball skills to UTEP’s secondary
Josiah Jones is a 6-foot-2, 189-pound redshirt freshman safety at UTEP with a reputation for impact plays rather than empty padding: in his pre-UTEP season, he posted 58 tackles, 7 interceptions, and 3 pass breakups in 10 games, which screams playmaking instincts and field vision. UTEP lists him as an active defensive back in 2026, and his profile fits a rangy safety who can erase throws and support the run. If your team wants a young, high-upside defensive back with legit turnover juice, Jones is worth a serious look.
