After starting for three seasons and earning Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year Award honors at North Dakota State, linebacker Jabril Cox (6-foot-4, 230 pounds) set his sights on an NFL future and wanted to prove to scouts he could play against top competition before turning pro. Cox chose to grad-transfer to defending national champion LSU, playing in the SEC for his lone year of Division I football.
Known for his speed and coverage ability in Fargo, Cox looked just as rangy and fluid in space in Baton Rouge, proving he isn’t a small school wonder.
