Buddha Jones brings veteran interior muscle to Troy’s defensive front
In the 2023 season, Troy DT Buddha Jones was a sturdy, high-motor anchor inside, finishing with 29 tackles and showing real value as a run-stopper with 6.5 tackles for loss across his Troy career. The knock-on-the-door differentiators are his compact frame, ability to handle double teams, and proven nose-tackle consistency rather than flashy sack numbers. He also flashed ball skills for a big man with three career fumble recoveries and a touchdown return, which screams alertness and effort. If you need interior toughness, space-eating strength, and dependable gap discipline, he’s a fit.
