Talib is the nephew of former Denver Broncos star cornerback Aqib Talib. He would be the second of Aqib Talib’s nephews to play at CU, as Yamil Talib is currently a defensive end with the Buffs.
Jayin Talib is a 6-3, 275-pound interior lineman who does not have a star rating from On3 or 247Sports, but he has 10 scholarship offers, including from North Carolina State and Texas Tech.
Talib played center for Allen High School, helping the Eagles to a 14-1 record and a trip to the Class 6A Division I state semifinals.
