C.J. Baskerville brings proven ball production and reliable tackling to Texas Tech’s secondary
Baskerville is a senior defensive back who has turned into a real playmaker for Texas Tech, posting **78 tackles and 4 interceptions in the 2024 season** after already showing steady production in 2023.[1] His differentiators are range, play recognition, and finishing ability—he’s not just around the ball, he’s been able to turn chances into turnovers. The 2021 San Diego State notes also point to dependable tackling and solid coverage grades, which suggests a safety/DB who fits as a veteran, assignment-sound addition for a defense that values instincts and consistency.[3][1]
