2019 (Senior/Injury Hardship)
Games/Starts: 11/9
Position: OL
Best Games: Started five consecutive games early in season, and then finished season with four consecutive starts ... Helped Raiders lead Patriot League in time of possession at 32:14 ... After graduation, transferred to Rice to play one final season.
Coach Hunt on Jovaun: "Whenever a player takes his fifth year, you know they love football. There is a lot to it here. It's not easy to get a fifth year and go through everything you have to do to get it. But he did and it's going to pay off for him from a career standpoint. He found in that semester off what he wants to do. Obviously he was a great leader for us. Voted captain. He's a great personality. Comes with a smile, makes everybody round him at ease, and at the end of the day was a really good football player. To be honest, he's still dealing with the injury he had but he would never complain about it, which is another good sign. When all is said and done, he's going to be happy he took the extra year to come back and finish on his terms, not on the injury's terms. I'm happy he's able to do that. He has of late really stepped his game up and been an anchor for us on the offensive line, in the locker room, in the classroom and in the community. He's what you want your football players to be."

2018 (Senior)
Games/Starts: 1/1
Position: OL
Best Games: Started and played in opener before suffering season-ending injury.
Coach Hunt on Jovaun: "He's the true definition of doing what you set your mind to do. He came in here as a highly recruited kid with big potential and he struggled early in his career physically and in the playbook. I remember sitting down with him after his freshman year and he was committed. Also throughout his career, he struggled academically and I'm not embarrassed for him to say that, because he committed to being a great student. By his junior year, he was an All-League player and was at the Academic Honor Roll Luncheon receiving an academic award. Once Jovaun sets his mind to doing something, it's going to get done. I really respect that and it's a great trait to have, and I'm happy to see what the future yields for him both on and off the field."
