For getting Barron to Texas.

Herman & Co didn’t want him.

Jahdae practically begged for a Texas offer but Herman, Washington, and Carrington didn’t think he had big enough offers. And told him to kick rocks.

Committed to TCU, but the DC at the time got caught on the phone (which their may or may not be a recording of) calling one current 1st team all sec edge player an f word and making similar comments threatening Barron for taking other visits. Needless to say mom wasn’t going for it.

Matt Rhule lied about taking an NFL job to get jahdae to sign during the early signing period.

A&M called and offered the morning of signing day with some odd strong arm sign today tactics. Jahdae told coach Mo in the most polite terms ACES.

Aranda took the job at Baylor hired a corners coach that never reached out to introduce himself to Jahdae not one text or call. So he enters the portal.

Chris Ash offered him while at Rutgers and when he got the DC job at Texas the timing worked out that Jahdae had hit the portal and Ash/Velai offered him immediately. (Which may or may not have been a coincidence)

The rest is history or history in the making.

Not one of the guys Herman and co wanted ahead of him have been named Thorpe finalist let alone Thorpe winners.

Funny how life works out, just goes to show that if you have a dream don’t let go of it or feel sorry for yourself when one door closes. Keep believing and be ready when the door cracks open.
