KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Southeastern (Fla.) graduate cornerback Jamil Jones will start the month of November as the PrestoSports NAIA Defensive Player of the Week after setting a school record for the Fire with three interceptions in SEU’s 45-16 win on Halloween over Warner (Fla.).

Jones’ third pick of the day went 97 yards the other way for a touchdown, marking the longest interception return in Southeastern history. That return gave the Fire its final score of the day with 6:30 to play, as SEU improved to 6-2 on the year, 3-2 in The Sun Conference.

A native of Macclenny, Fla., Jones added a pair of pass breakups, two tackles and got in on a tackle for loss for the Fire, who closed the month of October by holding the Royals to just 334 yards of total offense and 16 pass completions. The win also pushed Southeastern’s lead in the all-time series with Warner to 12-0.

Southeastern plays its final home game of the 2026 season Saturday, hosting Keiser (Fla.) at 2 p.m. ET.
