Steven Jones brings proven ball skills and playmaking upside to Lamar’s secondary
Steven Jones is a versatile defensive back whose recent production suggests real takeaway ability: at the UFL level, he logged 23 tackles in 2025 and followed with 1 interception in 2026, showing he can find the ball and make impact plays. He also entered Georgia Tech and later Murray State as a multi-position defensive piece, which hints at adaptability and football IQ. The appeal here is a DB who can compete, cover, and contribute in multiple roles—good fit for a team that values instincts, toughness, and special-teams value.
