Texas’ Keondre Coburn has become heart of defense
Texas defensive lineman Keondre Coburn rushes the quarterback during an NCAA college football game against Louisiana-Monroe, Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, in Austin, Texas. AUSTIN — Everyone involved with the program was thrilled when Keondre Coburn utilized his additional year of eligibility to return for a fifth season at Texas.
So this offseason, head coach Steve Sarkisian and defensive line coach Bo Davis challenged Coburn to broaden his game. Become a more impactful pass rusher, a more consistent run stopper, a leader who walks the talk. “I think Keondre has really improved,” Sarkisian said Thursday. “I think he is becoming a three-down player.”Coburn would love to finish off a few more sacks of his own, but he essentially has become the Chris Paul of the defensive line, a sack facilitator who makes the game easier for everyone around him. He didn’t record any sacks in the Longhorns’ 38-20 win over West Virginia last Saturday, but his presence made all the difference.
The Sooners have rushed for at least 179 yards in four of five games. And they’ve gone over 200 rushing yards three times, including a 312-yard, four-touchdown performance against Nebraska in Week 3.
