He used that time to earn first-team All-American honors and post 8.5 sacks.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"75\">He then transferred to Auburn to finish his college career, beginning with the 2023 season, building his case for an NFL opportunity.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"78\">Jamison-Travis&#8217;s skillset impressed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/giants\/onsi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York Giants<\/a> enough that they used the first of their three sixth-round draft picks in this year\u2019s draft to select him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7b\">Jamison-Travis is now staring at an opportunity to develop into the team\u2019s future anchor on its defensive line in the post-Dexter Lawrence era.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>BOBBY JAMISON-TRAVIS, DLHeight: 6-foot-4Weight: 322\u00a0 lbs.Exp.: RSchool: AuburnHow Acquired: D6a-\u2019262025 in Review<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7r\">Jamison-Travis had his best and most productive college season in 2025 for the Tigers. In 12 games (same as what he played the year prior), he posted 36 tackles, two tackles for loss, and two pass breakups, all career highs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7u\">Jamison-Travis isn\u2019t much of a pass rusher at this point in his development, but what he can give a team right away is a big body that can eat up double-team blocks as well as snaps on the field goal block team, which he did at Auburn.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7x\">He\u2019s also a solid run defender and tackler, who in 2025 earned<a href=\"https:\/\/premium.pff.com\/ncaa\/players\/2025\/REGPO\/bobby-jamison-travis\/175881\/defense\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> his highest run defense grade<\/a> from PFF (84.6), posting 22 stops in 178 run-defense snaps and owning a 12.1% run stop percentage, which was among the tops in the country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"80\">The owner of a quick first step and burst,\u00a0 Jamison-Travis finished as PFF\u2019s seventh-highest graded run defender among the draft-eligible defensive linemen.<\/p>\n<p>Contract\/Cap Info<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"86\">Jamison-Travis signed a four-year rookie contract worth $4.689 million last month. The deal includes a $309,576 signing bonus, which prorates to $77,394 per year. That gives him a modest first-year cap hit of just $652,818 for 2026.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"89\">Should Jamison-Travis not make the Giants\u2019 53-man roster, the team would recoup $885,000 (his scheduled base salary) and include a $77,394 dead money hit, with the balance of the prorated signing bonus set to hit the 2027 cap.<\/p>\n<p>2026 Preview<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8f\">Jamison-Travis has the versatility to line up as a nose guard (probably his best position at this point) and as a 3-technique. He has 34.5-inch arms, which he uses to shed blocks and to get into the air to knock down passes, as seen at times in the spring practices.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8i\">Jamison-Travis is still relatively raw, but the good thing is that, given all the veteran depth in front of him, he is now being afforded the opportunity to really hone in and polish up his skill set so that when those veterans move on, Jamison-Travis will hopefully be ready for a bigger role.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-20\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8l\">Until then, it would not be a surprise if he were to land on the practice squad coming out of camp.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8s\">Sign up for our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/giants\/onsi\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">free newsletter<\/a> and follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nygiantsmaven\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Patricia_Traina\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a> for the latest news, and <a href=\"https:\/\/form.jotform.com\/92567758130161\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">send your mailbag questions<\/a> to us. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Defensive lineman Quientrail \u201cBobby\u201d Jamison-Travis\u00a0 spent two years at Iowa Western Community College before he ever took a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":751480,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-751479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
