I mean it is when it all boils down to it. . You think BMD are more likely to donate to a winning or losing team?

I know BMDs created a hell of an NIL during, and coming off, a 5-7 season. I know anyone paying attention knew this team was going to struggle to have a better record this season. You know who’s paying attention? Those with the most skin in the game. The true powers behind Texas football aren’t going to put all that effort into building one of the best NIL programs in the country only to suddenly throw in the towel because the truth nature of the current team suddenly re-emerged in Lubbock.

One of the reasons Muhammad is so highly rated and was such a difference maker for the Golden Bears during their state championship runs is his ability in man coverage. The SOC coaches could more often than not play 10-on-10 football because there was faith in Muhammad being able to cover the man across from him without help.

Most of the time, that was true. His best play as a high schooler was the result of constant man coverage in the state championship game versus Port Neches-Groves. Muhammad stuck with his man, identified the ball during the scramble drill, caught it, and returned it for an important score in SOC’s 34-24 win over the Indians in the 5A Div. II championship.

While those man abilities will be crucial throughout Muhammad’s career, Texas defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski uses a variety of coverages including many that involve zone or pattern-matching. SOC likely had more defenses in its repertoire and its possible Muhammad ran them while at The Mecca.

However, it wasn’t something they appeared to major in. Learning to read and react in zone coverage against college receivers, communicating efficiently, and occupying the right spaces will be key for Muhammad as he likely contends with Gavin Holmes, Austin Jordan, and others at cornerback.
