Texas Longhorns safety Andrew Mukuba led the secondary in Saturday's win over Michigan.
returned home to Austin this offseason after three seasons at Clemson. The defensive back showed out for his city in Saturday's 31-12 win oversecondary that was flying all over the field at "The Big House" while causing trouble for quarterback Davis Warren and the Michigan receivers. He finished with four total tackles and an interception, but his presence on the field was felt beyond the stats.
In this first half, he had a big hit on a Wolverine receiver to force an incompletion before securing his first interception as a Longhorn in the second quarter after snagging a deflected pass out of the air.In the third quarter, he laid the boom once again on a hit that came to the delight of Texas fans. After Michigan running back Kalel Mullings took a handoff toward the left, he barely got past the line of scrimmage before Mukuba came down from his safety spot to deliver a violent hit.
During his time at Clemson, Mukuba posted 142 total tackles, one sack, 15 passes defended and one interception. Based on the way he played Saturday, he could be due for more interceptions -- and increased looks from NFL scouts -- as the seasons treads on.
