The Panthers have added a formidable presence to the offensive line with the signing of former San Jose State offensive lineman Jaime Navarro.

"Jaime is a well-disciplined offensive lineman with outstanding power, size, and technique," said Panthers Head Coach Rob Keefe. "He has big-game experience and the traits and talent to thrive in professional football."

Navarro considers himself a student of the game, complementing his athleticism that allowed him to succeed as a college player. At San Jose State, Navarro set a program record by playing in 59 games, starting his last 44 games. During his time wearing blue and gold, Navarro played in three bowl games and captured a Mountain West Conference title in 2020. Although he was primarily used at tackle, Navarro is ready to fill any role to help the team win.

"I'm more suited to be a guard, but I've always wanted to play center. I love the idea of being at the head of the train and navigating a group of men toward a goal," said Navarro. "I'm sold on the professionalism of the Panthers, the resources, and the coaching. It's a great franchise that plays for championships, and that's what I want to be a part of."
