Texas State’s versatile DB with defensive upside still worth watching
Kendall Jones appears on Texas State’s 2026 roster at defensive back, but the publicly available team and player data found here does not surface enough 2026 individual stat detail to credibly grade his current production. What stands out is the profile fit: a DB slot where speed, tackling confidence, and coverage instincts matter more than flashy box-score numbers. If he’s showing up in the secondary rotation, the question is whether he can bring steady, assignment-clean play and special-teams value — the kind of glue-guy traits coaches love when they’re building a defense.
