Jean was all over the field against Robert Morris, and he proved to be in the right place at the right time in what was a pivotal win for Central Connecticut on Saturday. With 7:26 remaining in regulation, the Rochester, NY native recovered a fumble and returned it 49 yards to the house to help the Blue Devils complete a comeback from what was a 24-10 fourth-quarter deficit. Prior to that, Jean forced a fumble and recovered the ball on a Colonials 2nd-and-5 at midfield to set up an 11-play, 64-yard drive that pulled Central Connecticut within seven points (24-17) with 10:00 to go. With four fumble recoveries this season, Jean leads the NEC and is tied for second in the nation in the category. In addition, Jean is second in the circuit with seven pass breakups.
