Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Davante Davis, Cameron Dicker earn Big 12 Player of the Week honors

After putting forth praiseworthy individual performances in a 41-34 win over Texas Tech, three Texas Longhorns were honored on Monday as Big 12 Players of the Week.

Junior wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey was named the Offensive Player of the Week, while senior cornerback Davante Davis took home Co-Defensive Player of the Week. Freshman kicker Cameron Dicker was honored as well, being named as the Special Teams Player of the Week.

Humphrey headlined the Longhorns win over Texas Tech, snagging eight receptions for 159 yards and two touchdowns, including a 29-yard game-winning touchdown grab to secure the win in Michael Crabtree-esque fashion.

Davis played an essential role in Texas’ road win as well, totaling five tackles, two tackles for loss, snagging a key interception deep in the red zone to prevent Texas from digging itself into an early double-digit deficit. Davis later forced yet another turnover, as he stripped and recovered a fumble from Texas Tech quarterback Jett Duffey in the red zone, which led to Texas adding three points to the score board and extending its lead to 27-10.

Dicker’s impact was vital as well, as the freshman converted each of his five extra point attempts and split the uprights on both field goal attempts, including a new career-high conversion from 52 yards. Dicker accounted for 11 total points.
