San Jose City College Jaguars will open the 2026 college football season against Redwood with a new defensive end, 47-year-old Justin Buzzard. Buzzard, a pastor and father of three, returned to football after an injury in the 1990s. He was inspired by a 60-year-old’s gridiron comeback. Buzzard, who is not seeking financial gain, said his teammates have accepted him. He aims to give his all and has no ambitions beyond playing for the love of the game, according to NBC Bay Area and Fox & Friends.
