OVERVIEW: After three seasons as a starter at Clemson, Mukuba burst onto the scene at Texas and became one of the best safeties in college football. Originally from Harare, Zimbabwe, he became the first true freshman to start for Clemson at defensive back since 1972 and was given the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year honor. Upon his move to Texas, the Longhorns' staff used him primarily as a free safety, where he had the most success. However, Mukuba showed throughout his career that he can play in the box and slot as well.
