Huskey, like many other Jaguars selections in the past two drafts, had a fascinating college career. A 2025 second-team All-Big Ten selection last season, Huskey was tied for fourth in the Big Ten and 16th nationally with four interceptions in 12 games.
Huskey (6-feet-2 201 pounds) played 2024-2025 at Maryland and 2022-2023 at Bowling Green. He finished his collegiate career with 11 interceptions and 10 passes defensed, with four interceptions in 2023 when he was a first-team All-MAC selection at Bowling Green.
He began his collegiate career at cornerback before switching to safety at Maryland, with the cornerback-to-safety convert a popular trend for the Jaguars. Second-year veteran Caleb Ransaw was a collegiate cornerback who is expected to be a full-time NFL safety, with veteran safety Eric Murray playing cornerback at Minnesota before transitioning to safety in the NFL.
