Leo Almanza Jr. brings length, versatility, and two-way instincts to Baylor’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Baylor cornerback Leo Almanza Jr. redshirted and did not see game action, so his college production sample is still empty[1]. What makes him intriguing is the profile: a 6-foot-2, physical defensive back who was a consensus three-star recruit and a top-80 corner nationally in the 2025 class, with high school tape showing ball skills, run support, and rare two-way athleticism after playing receiver and corner at Byron Nelson[2][6][12]. If a team wants upside, versatility, and long-term development more than instant stats, he’s a sneaky-good bet.
