Longhorns Freshman Jaylon Guilbeau Suspended, Not Practicing With Team
Texas freshman cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau had been one of the more impressive newcomers to campus this spring for the Longhorns, and was off to a fast start, challenging for early playing time from the moment he stepped on the field.
However, Guilbeau's progress has now taken a step back, with the Port Arthur native not currently practicing with the team, and has been suspended due to a violation of team rules.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed the suspension on Tuesday.
Since his original decommitment, Texas went on to add a pair of defensive back commitments to help replace the loss, in Ryan (Denton, TX) defensive back Austin Jordan, and Little Elm (TX) corner Terrance Brooks.
While Guilbeau's absence does create a depth problem, Ryan Watts and D'Shawn Jamison remain the starters at both corner positions.

14. Jaylon Guilbeau
Vitals: 6'0, 175 pounds
School: Port Arthur (Texas) Memorial
Recruiting: Considering Texas, TCU, Texas A&M
Not as flashy as others on the list, there is something to be said for consistency and production. From his stance, to remaining in phase and certainly shifting his weight and breaking on the football, Guilbeau profiles as a high-floor cover man for the Texas Longhorns. He has good size, can run, plays the football better than most and finds the football. Few corners we have evaluated in the class show up as comfortable as Guilbeau does in man coverage, especially while pressed up at the line of scrimmage.
