The lone first-team All-Big 12 player from last year's Baylor squad, Pitre is back for one more year as a fifth-year senior. Despite being a safety on paper, Pitre has the versatility and the freedom to play in the box, too, as a pseudo-linebacker. Those different roles give him the opportunity to impact the game in a number of different ways, and Pitre certainly made the most of those opportunities last fall. He was among the team's best in a number of statistical categories in 2020. Pitre led the team in tackles-for-loss and was third on the team in both sacks and interceptions. He was third in the Big 12 in tackles-for-loss per game (1.44). Pitre also became the first player in program history to have two interceptions returned for touchdown in the same season. - Dallas Morning News

Coming into Saturday's game, Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy had thrown three interceptions in 193 attempts in six games. Baylor intercepted three of his first 10 passes. Cornerback Kalon Barnes made his second career interception with a leaping catch at Baylor's 11 on Iowa State's first drive. On Iowa State's second drive, cornerback Raleigh Texada returned an interception 56 yards to set up Charlie Brewer's nine-yard touchdown pass to Drake Dabney for a 14-0 first-quarter lead. Linebacker-safety Ja len Pitre returned an interception for a 30-yard touchdown to give the Bears a 21-7 second quarter lead. "I feel it was a lot of film study to fly around to the ball and run to the ball and catching it when he throws it to us," Pitre said. "Those three t urnovers in the first half helped a lot. That's our goal." - Waco Tribune Herald

First-year Baylor coach Dave Aranda likes the versatility his defensive backs bring to the table. "The five DBs, there is an element of being positionless," Aranda said. "There are certain strengths. The ability to be kind of nameless and interchangeable in today's game allows for quite a bit of hidden successes, and we're looking for those in offenses that we face." Baylor's fifth position in the secondary is the "star" position, a hybrid safety-linebacker spot that features senior Jairon McVea and fou rth-year junior Jalen Pitre. Both players have shown the ability to cover receivers and handle tackling duties. "Jairon has really been able to cover well in the slot and be able to do zone concepts that we want for him to execute as well as the man prin ciples, the man coverages that are so dependent on his technique," Aranda said."He's covering the slot receiver, kind of their go-to guy. It's been really exciting to see McVea play the way he has." Pitre has been a fan favorite since he was the o nly player from the 2017 signing class who was recruited by former coach Art Briles that kept his commitment to Baylor after Briles was fired. After appearing in 15 games and starting nine during his first two seasons at Baylor, Pitre redshirted last yea r after playing in four games. "You've got Pitre who can bring in a blitzing aspect that can set edges against the run, that can cover as well," Aranda said. "So I think that combination of star athletes enables us to really be dynamic and really play in to each other strengths." - Waco Tribune Herald
