veteran Coastal Carolina corner with elite football pedigree, but limited 2025 box-score noise
In the 2025 season, Ja'Varis Bufford was listed as a junior cornerback at Coastal Carolina, 5-foot-10 and 176-178 pounds, with very limited statistical production in the available game logs and season trackers[1][3][5]. His appeal is more about profile than splashy numbers: he brings SEC experience from Mississippi State, fits as a compact, experienced cover man, and shows enough roster staying power to remain in the mix for the Chanticleers[3][11][12]. If you're chasing a polished, battle-tested CB with a real college résumé, he's worth a look; if you want a headline-grabbing stat magnet, this isn't that guy[1][3][11].
