Big 12 media days is around the corner with several media members submitting their 2023 predictions for the season. Texas is seeing plenty of shine, and frankly it’s warranted.
The most meticulous prosecuting attorney couldn’t find fault with the Texas wide receiver room. In addition, it’s hard not to like what Texas has on the offensive line. At tight end, the Longhorns return perhaps their best 2024 NFL draft prospect in Ja’Tavion Sanders. On the defensive side, the team adds elite safety Jalen Catalon to the No. 3 defense in the Big 12 from a season ago.
CBS Sports’ Shehan Jeyarajah is buying stock in Texas predicting the Longhorns will win Big 12 offensive, defensive and newcomer players of the year awards. Even if the rightful winners of those awards are Longhorns, it’s likely the coaches in the conference will vote for players from other teams. With that in mind, here’s a look at potential superlative winners for the upcoming season.
