Jalen Likely brings burst and upside to Jacksonville State’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Jalen Likely flashed efficient big-play ability with 53 rushing yards on 6 carries across 4 games, and his listed 72 rating in EA SPORTS College Football 26 suggests legit developmental upside.[2][3] The best reasons to care are his quickness, agility, and potential as a change-of-pace runner, while the caution flag is that his current production sample is still small and he was reportedly unavailable for Jacksonville State’s final regular-season game in 2025.[5] If you want an RB with speed and upside rather than a proven volume workhorse, Likely fits the mold.[5]
