Nevada’s veteran downhill safety with a knack for impact plays
Paul Jolley is a physical, assignment-sound Nevada safety whose value shows up in the messy parts of football: tackling, leverage, and run support. In the 2001 season, he posted 59 total tackles with 5.5 tackles for loss and 4 interceptions, and in the 2002 season he remained an active playmaker with 36 total tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss, which hints at a defender who can both clean up and create chaos. He looks like a fit for a defense that wants a tough, experienced back-end enforcer rather than a splashy but inconsistent gambler.
