Jayden Childers brings disruptive, high-motor depth to Indiana State’s defensive front
Childers is coming off a 2025 season at Indiana State in which he posted 23 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, an interception, and six quarterback hurries, showing real splash-play ability from the DL spot.[2] He also logged a 2024 season with Western Michigan where he played in all 13 games on defense and special teams, which points to a dependable, assignment-aware player who can help in multiple roles.[2][8] The appeal is his blend of effort, backfield disruption, and versatility rather than just raw size or volume stats, making him a smart fit for a rotation that values active hands and consistent pressure.[2][8]
