WILLIAMSBURG — The postseason All-America honors continue to roll in for members of the William & Mary football team, as left tackle Charles Grant and cornerback Jalen Jones were selected to the prestigious Walter Camp FCS All-America Team.
The elite team is comprised of the nation’s top 11 players on each side of the ball, as well as three standouts on special teams.
The honor marks the seventh All-America first-team recognition for Grant this postseason (Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association, Stats Perform, Phil Steele, FCS Athletic Directors Association and FCS Football Central), while it is the sixth for Jones (Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association, Stats Perform, Phil Steele and FCS Football Central).
One of the top prospects for this spring’s NFL Draft, Grant was the nation’s first player to earn and accept an invitation to play in the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl.
Ranked among the nation’s top-rated tackles in the FCS this season according to PFF (90.2), Grant allowed just one sack in 368 passing blocking snaps. Additionally, he helped W&M’s offense rank fourth nationally in rushing (232.8) and 24th in total offense (413.2) en route to being selected as a Walter Payton Award Finalist and garnering first-team All-CAA accolades for the third consecutive season.
Jones, one of the nation’s top defensive playmakers and a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, led the country in passes defended (22), pass breakups (20) and passes defended per game (1.8). Additionally, the first-team all-conference selection totaled 48 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
The Chesapeake, Va., native will enter his senior season next fall ranked fourth in school history with 45 passes defended (6 INT/ 39 PBU).
