00:00 The awards just keep on coming for this Texas Longhorns defense and this time
00:05 it's defensive tackle Tavondre Sweat who has won the 2023 Outland Trophy which
00:11 is awarded annually to the best interior lineman for offense and defense. Sweat
00:16 was a primary reason the Texas defense allowed the fourth fewest rushing yards
00:21 per game in the country during the regular season. The Big 12 Defensive
00:25 Player of the Year posted 42 total tackles, 2 sacks and 5 passes defended.
00:30 He also caught a 2-yard touchdown in Texas's 49-21 win over the Oklahoma
00:36 State Cowboys in the Big 12 Championship game. In his five years as a Longhorn
00:41 Sweat has tattled 124 total tackles, 5 sacks, 15 passes defended and 1 forced
00:48 fumble and will likely be one of the top defensive linemen in the 2024 NFL draft.
00:54 Sweat and the third-ranked Longhorns will take on the second-ranked
00:58 Washington Huskies in the college football playoff semifinals at the
01:02 Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. From Longhorns Country, I'm Alexandra Cox.
