Last season, Obiazor played in all 13 games — including his first career start at Houston — as he tallied 16 tackles, five tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and three pass breakups over 310 defensive snaps. He earned votes from the league’s coaches for the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year award and was an Academic All-Big 12 performer.
