AUSTIN, Texas — Trying to live up to the standard set by Michael Huff isn’t easy.
A Thorpe Award winner and member of the UT Hall of Honor, Huff left the Forty Acres as a two-time All-American who recorded 318 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, seven interceptions, 44 pass breakups, six caused fumbles, and three fumble recoveries in his standout career for the Longhorns.
For Texas super senior cornerback Jahdae Barron, who counts the assistant director of player personnel as a mentor, wearing Huff’s old No. 7 jersey and attempting to win the Thorpe Award this season means that Huff is always asking for more.
