Never the biggest or fastest, Texas junior nickel corner Jahdae Barron is using his smarts...
Texas SPUR Jahdae Barron intercepts a pass for a touchdown on Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022 at Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium. Texas defeated UTSA 41-20AUSTIN — Jahdae Barron’s physical measurements probably won’t get NFL scouts slobbering all over their notepads.
“I think he has good natural football instincts,” Sarkisian said of Barron, a third-year nickel cornerback. “I think that he’s a very aware guy, like he’s aware of what’s going on around him. He’s not 6-2 and runs a 4.3 , but he makes up for it with instincts and savviness and smarts, which sometimes is more effective than just being physically gifted. He has it up top.”
“He’s got a very high football IQ,” Sarkisian said after Saturday’s 41-20 win over the Roadrunners. “He’s a physical player for a defensive back. I’m sure there’s a handful of plays tonight that he’d probably love to have back where he normally makes better tackles. But like all of us, I think we were all a little off early on.
Diggs was listed at 5-10, 195 pounds during his playing days at Texas. Barron cuts a similar figure, and he always admired the way the smaller corner would lock down wideouts regardless of size.Barron has traveled a much different path than Diggs did at Texas, though.
