Jared Velasquez brings versatile back-end toughness to William & Mary
Velasquez profiles as a physical, multi-role defensive back who was a two-star safety prospect out of Fairfax and later showed playmaking ability at William & Mary, where his 2015 season included 48 tackles, a tackle for loss, an interception, and a pass breakup. His value is not just numbers: he has the frame and versatility to handle coverage, support against the run, and contribute on special teams, which makes him a useful fit for a disciplined, assignment-sound defense.
