Jay Hagan brings freshman upside and early special-teams/DB depth to Charleston Southern
A 6-foot, 190-pound freshman safety from Carrollton, Georgia, Jay Hagan arrives with a solid prep résumé: 43 tackles, four pass breakups, two interceptions and two defensive touchdowns as a senior, plus another 45 tackles and three pass breakups as a junior. Charleston Southern lists him on the 2026 roster as a safety, and his profile suggests a physical, competitive back-end defender with enough speed and ball skills to create plays when the ball is in the air. For a program looking for hungry, coachable depth with upside, he’s a worthwhile watch.
