The boos rained down along with the chants, which was an unexpected turn of events considering the moral reputation of the Good Works Team. Downs was also a finalist for the Danny Weurffel Trophy, which honors playing accomplishments and community service.
Downs had two sacks of Quinn Ewers in OU’s 34-30 victory over the Horns in Dallas back in October.
Downs, who landed second-team All-Big 12 honors in 2023, made 29 tackles for the Sooners this year. He led the team for the second year in a row with 4.5 quarterback sacks.
