Redshirt Freshman DB with Elite Tackling Intensity and High-Character Drive
Jason Haynes, a 5-11, 200-pound redshirt freshman DB for the Florida Atlantic Owls, stands out for his relentless tackling intensity and high-character personality, having led Stranhan High School in tackles (93) with 3 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries in a single season. Though he missed the 2024 season rehabbing from a knee injury (medical redshirt), his return in 2025 showcases a player with elite footwork, an exercise science major driven by discipline, and a son of Clive and Iveris Haynes who brings unwavering team-first energy. His differentiator is not just stats but his intensity level and leadership—making him a perfect fit for teams valuing grit, reliability, and a player who elevates the locker room. You should care because he’s a rising talent with a proven track record of dominance and a mindset that turns every play into a statement.
