Former Stanford fullback with a special-teams edge
Jay Symonds is a 6-foot-3, 248-pound Stanford fullback who has shown value as a physical, versatile role player rather than a high-volume producer; in 2022 he played in 11 games, earned Stanford’s Special Teams Player of the Game honors against USC, and scored his first career touchdown while adding 56 receiving yards. His appeal is the kind coaches like: size, toughness, and willingness to do the unglamorous work that helps in short-yardage and special-teams situations. As of the latest available Stanford/ESPN listings, he is not producing current offensive stats, so he profiles more as a depth-and-impact utility piece than a featured weapon.[5][3][1]
