Oklahoma cornerback D.J. Graham made a name for himself against Baylor.
The freshman recorded his first career interception, jumping up and fully stretching his body to pick off Bears quarterback Charlie Brewer. Graham returned the ball 8 yards before running out of bounds.
Graham was met on the sidelines with teammates swarming him to tap on his helmet and celebrate his first pick.
