Temple DB Jairo Almonte brings veteran ball production and blitzing edge
Jairo Almonte looks like a steady, senior-level Temple defensive back with a nose for disruptive plays: in the 2002 season he posted 12 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 interception, and 1 pass defended, and his earlier Temple work included a memorable corner blitz that dropped Miami’s Ken Dorsey for a 19-yard loss.[1][2] The profile here is a grinder with instincts, not just box-score flash — the kind of DB who can fit a physical, assignment-sound secondary and add surprise pressure off the edge.[1][2]
