Justin Ferguson brings size, ball skills, and early upside to Mercer’s cornerback room
In the 2026 season, Mercer cornerback Justin Ferguson projects as a young defender with real two-way value: he’s listed at 6-foot, 180-185 pounds, and Mercer’s roster bio credits him with all-state honors, 24 tackles, eight pass breakups, and six interceptions as a high school senior. His early college stat line is still tiny, so the intrigue is more about traits than production — length, instincts, and the kind of coverage upside Mercer likes to develop. If your team wants an athletic, physical corner with room to grow, he’s worth watching.
