UTEP safety Josiah Jones brings length, ball skills and playmaking upside
Josiah Jones enters the UTEP secondary as a 6-foot-2 safety with a modest EA Sports College Football 26 rating of 66, but his appeal is in his disruptive, takeaway-minded profile rather than raw polish.[1] His high school production—58 tackles and 7 interceptions in 2024—points to strong ball skills and an instinct for making plays, while his track background suggests more burst and range than the stat line alone shows.[2] He looks like a fit for teams that value upside, coverage range and physicality over immediate plug-and-play reliability.[1][2]
