After finishing 11-1 and winning their fifth consecutive Big 12 championship, CeeDee Lamb and Kenneth Murray were named second-team All-Americans on the 2019 AFCA FBS coaches team.
Lamb finished his junior campaign with 58 catches for 1208 yards and 14 touchdowns. He’s had six games over 100 receiving yards this season, and four over 150. He finished as one of the three Biletnikoff finalists, the award for the best receiver in college football, but fell behind Jerry Jeudy on the AFCA list. Jeudy was not nominated for the Biletnikoff. Lamb is averaging 20.8 yards per catch.
Murray has totaled 95 total tackles this year in Alex Grinch’s improved defensive scheme. Murray’s numbers are down from last year’s 155 total tackles, but he has more tackles for loss with 16, and nearly the same amount of solo tackles with 65.
Jalen Hurts finished second in Heisman voting to Joe Burrow, but failed to make the AFCA second-team, losing out to Ohio State’s Justin Fields, who finished third in the Heisman race.
No. 4 Oklahoma kicks off against top-ranked LSU on December 28 at 3 p.m. CT in Atlanta.
