Oklahoma LB David Ugwoegbu earns Big 12 weekly award after Texas game

Oklahoma linebacker David Ugwoegbu has taken home Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week after his big punt block against Texas.

Fresh off of Oklahoma’s wild four-overtime thriller win over Texas on Saturday, a Sooner has been awarded with some Big 12 hardware.

David Ugwoegbu has been named the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week.
This award really comes on the heels of one major play Ugwoegbu made during the game, which was a massive punt block in the second quarter that set the Sooners up on a short field for an easy touchdown.
The sophomore linebacker also registered a career-high six tackles and a sack in the Oklahoma win.
This is the first time Ugwoegbu has won a Big 12 player of the week honor.
The Sooners have the week off this week before traveling to TCU next Saturday, October 24th.
