Darrell Jones gives UTSA grown-man stability up front
In the 2025 season, Darrell Jones started 11 of 12 games at right guard for UTSA, logged 614 snaps, allowed just one sack, and didn’t give up a hit on the quarterback on 356 pass-blocking snaps, which is exactly the kind of steady, physical play coaches love in an interior lineman.[3] He was also a preseason All-American Conference pick in 2026, with Phil Steele and Athlon both naming him as a third-team selection.[8][12] The big selling point: he’s experienced, powerful, and disciplined, and he adds real plug-and-play value for a team that wants toughness, reliability, and a lineman who can help the run game without becoming a liability in pass protection.[3][15]
