 On the defensive side of the ball, safeties Jeremiah Cooper (five interceptions) and Beau Freyler (107 tackles, three interceptions) lead the returnees on a defense that ranked among the Big 12’s top three in scoring and total defense. Cooper and Freyler earned first and second team All-Big 12 honors, respectively.
