Jax Pope brings downhill energy and coverage versatility to Coastal Carolina
In the 2025 high school season at Buford, Jax Pope showed a steady all-around profile: 85 tackles, 51 solo stops, one sack, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble, and he described himself as a strong or middle safety who can cover, trigger downhill and shed blocks. Coaches and scouting writeups point to a physical, reliable defender with good instincts and toughness rather than flash, which makes him a fit for a team wanting a safety who can handle contact and assignment football.
