D’Shawn Jamison, CB
A defensive back for the Longhorns that the fans are well-acquianted with in terms of the raw speed that he brings to the table is the former electric four-star recruit and senior cornerback D’Shawn Jamison. Of all of the Longhorns players on this list, the fans on the Forty Acres might be the most familiar with watching the speed that Jamison brings to the table.
As one of the more underrated all-around defensive backs/special teams threats in the Big 12 in the past two seasons, Jamison is a candidate to not only get all-conference honors again in 2021, but challenge for an All-America nod. Given the way that Jamison sparked the Longhorns secondary and return units in the last two years, that’s not out of the question.
