Oklahoma's Gritty Walk-On DB Who Stepped Up Big
Jesse Paulsen, a former Oklahoma Sooners defensive back and walk-on, proved his mettle in 2012 by filling in admirably for injured starter Tony Jefferson, showcasing elite athleticism with a standout Pro Day performance—topping the broad jump and 40-yard dash among skill players at 6'0", 201 lbs. His differentiator is raw speed, explosiveness, and poise under pressure, making him a high-upside cover corner ideal for teams needing versatile, intense DBs who thrive in high-stakes moments without elite recruiting pedigree.
