The UTRGV football team's defensive backfield is looking to improve in their second year. The team's secondary had a solid debut year, with 11 interceptions, five forced fumbles, and four recovered fumbles. The group, known as "The JackBoyz", returns three starters from last year, including graduate student corner Dorian Blackwell, safety TJ Neal, and redshirt sophomore corner/nickel Alijah Prosser.

Blackwell is back for another year after being granted an additional year of eligibility by the NCAA. Further details about the team's fall camp and position room breakdowns are available from the source, providing more insight into the UTRGV football team's preparations for the upcoming season.
