Jonathan Pennix brings ball-hawking upside to Southern Miss’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Jonathan Pennix flashed as a disruptive corner for Southern Miss, finishing with 19 tackles and 2 interceptions while allowing completions on 22 of 37 targets in his lone season there; he also drew a 68 overall in EA SPORTS College Football 26, which lines up with his solid-but-still-developing profile.[2][3][5] What makes him interesting is the combo of length, multi-sport athletic background, and real playmaking instincts—he’s not just a cover guy, he can create turnovers and hold up in space.[1][5] He looks like a fit for a team that values aggressive, opportunistic corners with room to grow rather than a finished shutdown ace.[1][5]
