Jahdae Barron ranked as one of the highest graded cornerbacks by PFF College

Due to his play, the talented 22-year-old was ranked the second highest-graded cornerback from a Power Four school by PFF College on Friday

During the Longhorns’ undefeated start, their defense has been one of the best in the country. While everyone on the roster has contributed, one player who has stood out is Jahdae Barron. Due to his play, the talented 22-year-old was ranked the second highest-graded cornerback from a Power Four school by PFF College on Friday.

So far this season, Barron has recorded 12 tackles and added one interception to his highlight reel. The Austin native has made life difficult for quarterbacks, deflecting three passes and recovering one fumble. His play has been vital to a unit, surprising many in the country.

Through four games, Texas has only allowed 22 points. They have also recorded seven interceptions and applied constant pressure regardless of the opponent. With Barron leading the way, the Longhorns have left offensive coordinators baffled every week.

While the season is far from over, Barron appears well on his way to a stellar senior campaign. He was the only play to make PFF’s list and showed on Saturday night against UL Monroe why he received an 89.7 rating. The only player who received a higher rating was Iowa’s Jermari Harris, with a 90.5.

As Barron looks to build on his success, his next test will be a talented Mississippi State receiving core that includes Kevin Coleman Jr. and Jordan Mosley. However it is a challenge Barron is ready for as he has taken his game to another level over the last few weeks.

Louisville statistical leaders through five games

Does anyone here scare you?

Louisville cracked the rankings just in time for Notre Dame to come visit it. On one hand, the timing couldn’t be better for the Irish as a strong season for the Cardinals could mean a chance to bolster their College Football Playoff chances with a win. On the other, it’s the third straight quality opponent for the Irish with another one coming next week in USC, so the schedule isn’t getting any easier. They need a breather as much as anyone in the country.

Take a look at the Cardinals, and you’ll see some players in particular putting up big numbers. One could argue that’s because the Cardinals haven’t really played anyone yet. Whatever the case, this isn’t a team the Irish can afford to relax against. In fact, it’s a borderline trap game.

Here are the players on Louisville’s roster most likely to put their team in the best spot to succeed:

Deion Sanders snags Kevin Coleman Jr., another elite recruit for Jackson State

Deion Sanders lands another mega-recruit for Jackson State, WR Kevin Coleman Jr.

Prime Time Deion Sanders has added another elite recruit to his Jackson State Tigers.

The former NFL star and Hall of Famer will have wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. in his offensive huddle next season.

The St. Mary’s HS (St. Louis) star announced his decision Saturday at the All-American Bowl and former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant was impressed.

“I see everything he [head coach Deion Sanders] is doing and I want to be a part of it,” Coleman told SI All-American. “Coach Prime, to be coached by a person who has done it before. Why not? He can teach me. He did it on both sides, he did it on special teams and he is a great person with great character.”

It was believed Coleman was considering  Oregon, USC, Florida State, and Miami. However, he stunned everyone.

Coleman is the No. 4 WR in the Class of 2022, No. 44 overall.

 

Coleman will join Travis Hunter, the nation’s top recruit in the Class of 2022, at Jackson State.
