Baylor’s physical, playmaking corner who rose as a turnover hunter
K.J. Morton gave Baylor a steady, aggressive presence at cornerback, and in the 2013 season he finished with 156 career tackles, 8 interceptions, and 17 pass breakups as a three-year starter. He stood out for his toughness, ball skills, and knack for showing up in high-leverage moments—especially in Baylor’s Big 12 title-clinching win over Texas, where he grabbed two interceptions. The knock was consistency in coverage, but the upside is clear: he’s a competitive, battle-tested defensive back who fits a team that values physicality and takeaways.
