Jocquet Jiles brings burst and consistency to Samford’s backfield
Jocquet Jiles is a compact, productive running back whose value comes from steady ball production and proven ability to handle touches, with 58 carries for 152 yards and a touchdown in ESPN’s current stat line. He also flashed big-play upside at Samford with a 127-yard, two-touchdown outing against Reinhardt in 2025, which suggests he can pop when the blocking is there. He looks like a fit for a team that wants a physical, downhill runner who can contribute in volume and add occasional explosiveness.
