Northern Arizona’s versatile, under-the-radar corner with upside
Nijrell Eason II is a redshirt sophomore CB at Northern Arizona who arrived after two seasons at UNLV and came out of Higley HS as a top-seven Arizona cornerback recruit. In the 2025 cycle, he was noted for early-career experience across two seasons and for helping Higley win a 5A state title, which hints at a competitive edge and winning pedigree. At 5-9 to 5-11 and around 185-190 pounds, he profiles as a compact, physical defender who can fit a secondary that values toughness, special-teams value, and developmental upside.
