(Graphic: Business Wire)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nAustin, Texas, native Jahdae Barron is the third Thorpe Award recipient from the Longhorns, joining back-to-back winners Michael Huff (2005) and Aaron Ross (2006). Opting to return as a fifth-year defensive back, Barron played four positions in the Longhorns backfield and donned the same No. 7 jersey as former winner Huff. This year\u2019s honor makes Barron the first Longhorns recipient representing the Southeastern Conference in the award\u2019s history, a distinction that comes the same year Texas joined the SEC in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\nBarron led the SEC in interceptions with four interceptions and 41 tackles in the 2024 regular season, which contributed to a Longhorns defense that ranked top in the country for preventing explosive plays. Longhorns Head Coach Steve Sarkisian praised Barron\u2019s football IQ, versatility and ability to impact the game at any position, saying, \u201c[Barron] being the most impactful player on that defense, I think, speaks volumes to his preparation, his work ethic, his drive but, ultimately, the player that he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nIn addition to the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award, Barron was a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and was named First Team All-SEC as a defensive back.<\/p>\n<p>\nBarron commanded the voting, securing an impressive 65% of the first-place votes nationwide. This outcome was determined by the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award National Selection Committee, comprising of the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in-house award committee, past recipients of the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award, members of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA), and prominent sports writers and college football journalists from across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\nOklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and Paycom will honor Barron at the 39th Annual Paycom Jim Thorpe Award Banquet<b \/>as well as the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Annual Aeneas Williams Award winner in Oklahoma City on Feb. 4, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Paycom Jim Thorpe Award is a member of the National College Football Awards Association. Founded in 1997, the NCFAA includes college football\u2019s most prestigious awards, and its 24 awards have honored more than 900 recipients dating back to 1935.
