Rasheem Biles leads Texas defense with two turnovers against Texas State
Summary

Texas linebacker Rasheem Biles recorded a forced fumble and an interception in the Longhorns' game against Texas State at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on September 5, 2026. Biles forced a fumble by running back Taji Atkins during the second quarter, which nickel back Graceson Littleton returned 59 yards for a touchdown to extend the Texas lead. Later in the third quarter, Biles secured his first interception as a Longhorn by tracking a screen pass intended for wide receiver Beau Sparks. The defensive plays contributed to a 35-point lead for Texas during the second half. Following his interception, Biles followed team protocol by delivering the ball to the Texas mascot, Bevo XV. The performance highlights Biles' integration into the defense since his transfer from Pitt earlier this year.
