Ransaw (5-feet-11, 197 pounds), who played three seasons at Troy, was a third-team All-American Athletic Conference selection for Tulane in 2024. Gladstone called Ransaw a “very safe safety.”
“That root word in that position is something that we covet,” Gladstone said, adding that versatility – an ability to play cornerback and safety – is among an “endless list” of attributes that made the Jaguars covet Ransaw. “His ability to tackle people from depth is certainly a very specialized characteristic.”
The Jaguars hold six more selections in the ’25 draft: No. 104 (Round 4), No. 107 overall (Round 4), No. 194 overall (Round 6), No. 200 (Round 6) and No. 221 overall (Round 7), No. 236 (Round 7).
The Jaguars’ first two fourth-round selections mark Day 3’s second and fifth selections overall.
“Time will truly tell,” Gladstone said. “We look forward to having a little bit more of a fast start, like we did on Day 1 – having a couple of picks at the beginning of Round 4. We’ll see how the board unfolds the rest of the way with those that we have beyond that.”
