Here’s a closer look at JMU football’s 2026 spring roster, which was distributed at this year’s spring game. This does not include the group of freshmen who will join the team in the summer. 

Also not included is ETSU OL transfer Frankie Tinilau, a 6’6 and 325-pound left tackle. He’ll join the team in the summer and should either compete for a starting spot or be a top-end backup.
