Sophomore middle blocker Khat Bell (Mesquite, Texas) was named 2012 COBRA Magazine National Defensive Player of the Year. Bell, who bounced back after suffering a knee injury during the 2011 season, led the Longhorns with 142 blocks (1.38 bps) on the team's way to the national championship.
Bell recorded 216 kills (2.10 kps) with a .325 hitting percentage while being the anchor for the Longhorns' defense in the middle. She finished 23rd in the nation for blocks as her 1.38 blocks-per-set average places her fifth on UT's single-season list.
