Jhony Faustin brings proven NIU production and ball skills at cornerback
Faustin is a battle-tested Northern Illinois corner who has already produced 129 tackles, 13 pass breakups, and 3 interceptions across three seasons, while fighting through injuries in his last two years at NIU. That combination of tackling reliability, coverage disruption, and toughness makes him more than a box-score defender—he has shown he can compete through adversity and still impact games. For a team looking for a physical, experienced CB who can help in run support and create turnover chances, he looks like a strong fit.
