twitchy freshman CB with room to grow
Freshman cornerback Joseph Opara arrives at Sam Houston as a compact, versatile defensive back with track speed and a nose for the ball, backed by a prep résumé that included 46 tackles and 11 passes defended in his senior season in 2025. At Fort Bend Austin, he also showed two-way defensive flexibility at corner and free safety, plus Academic All-District discipline and legit athletic pop in the open field. He’s the kind of low-risk, high-upside DB fit for teams that value quickness, competitiveness, and developmental length-building over instant star power.
