Librado Barocio brings bruising Bruin grit and rare versatility to UCLA
In the 2014 season, Librado Barocio was a 5-foot-7, 170-pound defensive back for UCLA who earned a reputation as a versatile, high-effort walk-on with cornerback, safety, and special teams value; his path from walk-on to scholarship and Scholar-Athlete of the Year underscores toughness, persistence, and buy-in. He’s the kind of player coaches love for attitude and football IQ more than splashy stat lines, but he is now listed by UCLA as a defensive analyst rather than an active player, so his current value is more on the sideline than in the secondary.
