Coming into this season, both senior cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles and junior cornerback Shaun Jolly were preseason All-Sun Belt players according to league coaches and Athlon. They lived up to the hype in their first game of the season, limiting Charlotte QB Chris Reynolds to 140 yards and two interceptions. Senior safety Kaiden Smith impressed with an interception to ice the game and helped hold Reynolds to little success in the air.

“Knowing formations and being able to anticipate before, that plays a big role in (our success),” Jean-Charles said.
