Texas Longhorns linebacker Rasheem Biles is making a compelling case for the Butkus Award, presented annually to the nation's top college linebacker, while navigating a family tragedy. The junior defender, wearing number 3, recorded a sack during Texas's game against Mississippi State at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin on October 31, 2026. Biles's performance on the field has drawn attention as he balances personal adversity with athletic excellence. The Butkus Award recognizes the most outstanding linebacker in college football, and Biles's candidacy highlights his impact for the Longhorns this season.
