Citadel DB Nolan Jones: Reliable tackler with playmaking upside
Nolan Jones has been a steady, physical presence in The Citadel secondary, posting 33 career tackles, 4 pass breakups, 0.5 sacks, and a forced fumble across his listed college career through 2025. He looks like a fit for a defense that values toughness and assignment discipline: Jones shows up in the run game, competes with urgency, and has enough ball skills to matter in coverage without needing the spotlight. The main appeal is his dependable, no-drama profile—more “trust him in the room” than flash, which is exactly what many teams want in a DB.
