Jahdae Barron worked his way into Texas Longhorn stardom

NEW ORLEANS – Former Pflugerville Connally head coach Jason Cecil knew Jahdae Barron was special the first time he saw him play middle school football. Cecil described Barron as “different’ on the football field, and he also loved the young defensive back’s energy, personality, and willingness to compete. 

“I coached defensive backs his ninth and 10th grade year, and he immediately reminded me of Kevin White, who went on to become an all-conference player at TCU,” Cecil said. “Barron’s speed stood out. He’s the most talented kid I’ve ever coached.”
