Denver Broncos extend camp invite to Texas Tech DB
In this story:
The Denver Broncos have extended a camp invite to Texas Tech DB C.J. Baskerville. The transfer from San Diego State started 23 games for the Red Raiders during his two seasons in Lubbock.
As a senior, Baskerville finished as the third leading tackler on the team, accounting for 78 tackles and 2.5 TFLs. He also finished with a team-high four interceptions and four PBUs, and all four of his INTs came in conference play. His four interceptions ranked tied for 21st nationally in the NCAA during the 2024 season.

The 6-3, 210 pound Texas native is now hoping to continue his playing career at the next level, and it looks like the Denver Broncos are willing to give him a shot. Given how productive he was as a Red Raider, don't be surprised if Baskerville finds his way to playing on Sundays.
