He was third in the Mountain West in passes defended (16) and tied for 14 th in the nation in interceptions (4).
After his freshman season where he started out as a receiver and recorded 10 receptions for 147 yards and a receiving touchdown, plus 48 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground in nine games, he went on to play in 34 games in his final three seasons primarily at defensive back. In those final three seasons he totaled 181 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 27 pass deflections, seven interceptions, three fumble recoveries, four forced fumbles, and one blocked kick.
Jericho played his prep career at Hamilton High School in Los Angeles where he was a two-year letterman and helped the Yankees to a 12-4 overall record and LA City Division II title.
