CB Jahdae Barron, Texas: Barron has shifted from primarily a slot corner to playing outside this season as a fifth-year senior. According to PFF, he hasn’t allowed a touchdown while intercepting five passes and breaking up nine more for a Texas defense that has allowed the fewest passing yards per attempt (5.1) and per game (143.1) in the FBS.
LB Anthony Hill Jr., Texas: He’s the best player on one of the nation’s best defenses. Texas leads the FBS in yards per play allowed, and the sophomore has been the centerpiece as a disruptive and versatile linebacker. He has 90 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, seven sacks and an interception, taking a step up from a Freshman All-America season in 2023.
OL Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas: Banks has made 39 starts in three years after signing with Texas as a five-star recruit. A stalwart at left tackle, he’s allowed a total of four sacks in his career, per PFF, including just one sack and six pressures this year. He’s projected to be an early first-round draft pick.

PS, I should add that Jake Majors is up for the "Draddy" award which is the award for athletic, academic and civic excellence. And the TEXAS OL a finalist for the Joe Moore Award, best OL. Would be nice but Army deserves it.
Hope this is the next step towards him being the latest Horn to win the Thorpe Award.
