Baylor’s steady depth corner with special-teams grit
Alex Kushneir is best known as a tough, reliable Baylor defensive back who earned his snaps the hard way, first as a walk-on and then as a steady special-teams contributor and reserve cornerback. In Baylor’s 2008 season, he played all 12 games and even logged defensive snaps at cornerback, which tells you he was trusted in multiple roles. His edge is versatility, football IQ, and a willingness to do the unglamorous work—exactly the kind of glue player coaches love on a depth chart.
