The 6-foot, 190-pound sophomore from Western Heights High School in Oklahoma City enjoyed a stellar 2009 season that saw him named Lone Star Conference North Division Defensive Back of the Year.

Durham led the league with eight interceptions -- which ranks fifth nationally -- while adding 66 tackles (42 solo) and six PBUs. He picked off two passes against Southwest Baptist and had one interception in six other games while also intercepting a two-point conversion pass that doesn't count in the individual statistics.
