Texas Longhorns star defensive back Malik Muhammad joins the podcast ahead of the Longhorns’ huge showdown with Ohio State. As one of the best DBs in college football and a leader on the #1 team in the nation, Malik opens up about Texas’ national championship hopes, what it’s like playing alongside Arch Manning, and the chemistry in the secondary with Michael Taaffe.
