Jamal Mayers is emerging as a ball-hawking corner for UT Martin
In the 2026 season, Jamal Mayers has already flashed impact-play upside for UT Martin, posting nine tackles and three pass breakups in the opener after a 2025 campaign that included 13 tackles and his first career interception. At 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, he looks like a competitive, assignment-sound corner who has grown from special-teams contributor to a real defensive piece. The appeal is the trajectory: steady development, proven playmaking, and enough toughness to hold up in a physical role. If you want a young CB with upside, he’s a name worth watching.
