The college football season is closer by the day with the anticipated kickoff just 63 days away. As is customary for all media outlets, lists of preseason award watchlists and all-conference teams will be flying off the shelves. For Longhorns Wire it is no different as we put together our All-Big 12 team. This will consist of a first and second team for all positions on the football field. We start at the skill positions.
The Skill Positions
Senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger leads the charge for the skill positions. He is the only Longhorn among the first team selections. A big year could be in store for the Austin native as he attempts to chase the school’s all-time record for passing yards in a career. He will need a monster season to catch Colt McCoy. Ehlinger currently sits second in school history with 8,870 yards passing and second in total offense with 10,400 yards.
For the second team, the Longhorns have running back Keaontay Ingram and wide receiver Brennan Eagles. Ingram is coming off his best season in 2019 but that running back room is getting even more crowded with Roschon Johnson and newcomer Bijan Robinson. He will need a strong season to fight up the number one running back in 2020 recruiting class.
Brennan Eagles returns as the leading receiver from the 2019 team. He finished second with six receiving touchdowns. He was also third on the team in yards with 522, just behind Collin Johnson. Eagles will likely play the X receiver role in the new look Mike Yurcich offense and should expect plenty of looks from Ehlinger as they get the passing offense rolling.
