Longhorns star named Lott Impact Trophy quarterfinalists
Texas LB Rasheem Biles was named one of 16 quarterfinalists for the Lott Impact Trophy.
As the 2026 college football season progresses, Longhorns defensive standout Rasheem Biles is gaining traction for the Lott Impact Trophy. Selected on Thursday, Biles is one of 16 quarterfinalists for the prestigious award. Presented annually, it recognizes the player who has significantly impacted their team, both on and off the field.
With five games played, Biles has racked up 41 total tackles and a sack, along with one forced fumble and two interceptions. Despite being a recent addition to the Longhorns, Biles has already demonstrated his impact since transferring from the University of Pittsburgh. During his senior year at Pittsburgh, he set career records with 100 total tackles and two interceptions.
As Texas' defense currently ranks highly in several key statistics, Biles' consistent high-level performance is a major factor in their success. The Longhorns will look to leverage Biles' contributions as they face Florida on Saturday, aiming to secure their second SEC win of the year and move to 5-1.
