Big 12 officials announced on Monday that senior cornerback Ryan Reid received the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week award after his performance Saturday against the Kansas University Jayhawks.

This is the first time Reid has won a Big 12 weekly award. He is also the sixth Baylor player this year to receive a Big 12 weekly award.

Head coach Jim Grobe credits the pick six that Reid got in the first quarter of the this past weekend’s game to the game plan that was set up by Baylor.

“I think one thing we did as a coaching staff this week that I was really impressed with and that Phil [Bennett] and the guys did, I think they really had the guys tuned into what they like to do out of certain sets,” Grobe said.
