About Denson Jr. Updated Jun 2, 2026

Justin Denson Jr. is an experienced, physical DB with Power Conference upside

Justin Denson Jr. entered 2026 after a quiet but useful 2025 at Michigan State, where he appeared in three games and recorded two tackles, and his profile points to a 6'2" strong safety with size and versatility. He was a well-regarded Pennsylvania prospect coming out of high school, and the combination of length, back-end range, and tackling fit makes him intriguing for teams needing a development-minded defensive back. He is not yet a proven impact playmaker, but his frame and recruiting pedigree suggest a player worth monitoring for steady growth and special-teams value.
