Pete Rose brings veteran strong-safety value and special-teams grit to JMU
In the 2026 season, Pete Rose is a redshirt senior strong safety for James Madison who has logged 25 career games, 37 tackles, and three six-tackle outings, a steady profile that screams reliability over flash[1]. He looks like the kind of dude coaches trust: sturdy at 5-11, 210, experienced, and battle-tested on special teams, with the toughness and consistency to fit a defense that values physicality and assignment discipline[1].
