Jeremy Hester brings veteran juice, return-game value, and compact burst for Southern Miss
Hester is a senior-sized speed package at Southern Miss, listed at 5-foot-6 and 177 pounds, who has already shown he can produce as a runner and kickoff returner. In earlier Southern Miss seasons, he logged 299 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns in one year, plus 304 kickoff-return yards at a 27.6-yard average, and another season with 196 rushing yards and a 35-yard long run. The differentiator is his versatility: he can spark hidden-yardage plays, attack edges, and give a team instant energy. If you want toughness, quickness, and special-teams pop, he fits.
