veteran USC safety who brings steady, physical depth to the back end
Marshall Jones is a longtime USC safety whose value comes from experience, toughness, and reliable assignment football rather than flashy counting stats. In the 2010 season, he played in all 13 games and posted 35 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, a fumble recovery, and an interception; USC also notes he has 45 career tackles and four career starts. He’s the kind of player coaches trust to stabilize the secondary, especially when injuries hit, and he fits a team that wants a dependable, physical, low-mistake defender.
