former UNI DB with a special-teams edge and a versatile defensive profile
In the 2010 and 2011 seasons, Jaz Granderson was a Northern Iowa defensive back who also contributed on special teams, appearing in 18 games after redshirting and recording 8 tackles at UNI before moving on to Lindenwood. His calling card wasn’t gaudy box-score production; it was versatility, toughness, and a ready-made special-teams mentality that coaches love when they need dependable depth. The biggest context point: this is a former player, not a current UNI roster piece, and Granderson tragically died in 2017, so any scouting value is historical rather than present-day.
