  08/10/22 - OLB Javon SolomonrJr/2024, Troy

  The Troy Trojans defense is one of the most accomplished and talented defenses in the Sun Belt Conference and a big part of the veteran group's success can be attributed to sophomore Javon Solomon and junior Richard Jibunor. Solomon and Jibunor combined to total 27 tackles-for-loss and 19 sacks in 2021 but the unique thing about that is the pair did it primarily sharing snaps. Jibunor and Solomon both play the "bandit" position in Troy's defense, which is hybrid of a defensive end and outside linebacker who must be able to drop back into coverage on certain downs and put his hand in the dirt and play on the line of scrimmage at other times.

Solomon grew up in Tallahassee, Fla. and was a star player for Godby High School, while Jibunor grew up in Nigeria before moving to Georgia. The 6-foot-3-inch, 233-pound pass rusher originally started his college career at Auburn before transferring to Troy in 2019. In 2020 both Solomon and Jibunor became top players in the Sun Belt. Solomon earned All-Sun Belt honorable mention and Jibunor was selected to the All-Sun Belt third team as the pair made a habit of harassing opposing quarterbacks and living in the opponent's backfield. Both Jibunor and Solomon earned All-Sun Belt honors again in 2021 and the pass rushers' relationship off the field as been just as strong as the bond on the field. - Troy Messenger
