Four Longhorns named to All-Big 12 first team

Four Longhorns received first-team honors.

Texas had a disappointing 5-7 campaign in Steve Sarkisian’s first season as head coach.

The Horns were riding high after a 4-1 start to the season before Caleb Williams lead a historic comeback in the Cotton Bowl. Texas came crashing down to Earth after that game, losing six straight.

Texas still saw some excellent individual seasons from multiple players. Bijan Robinson, Xavier Worthy, Derek Kerstetter and Cameron Dicker were all voted first-team All-Big 12.

Robinson was the catalyst for the Texas offense all season long. The star running back finished with over 1,400 total yards and 15 touchdowns in only 10 games played. Robinson will be back at Texas next season for his junior year.

Texas found gold with freshman wide receiver Xavier Worthy. He set almost every freshman wide receiver record in program history and was named Big-12 Offensive Freshman of the year. Worthy is the first Longhorn to win the award since Colt McCoy in 2006.

Derek Kerstetter was one of the few bright spots on the Texas offensive line that struggled most of the year. Replacing the fifth-year senior will be a difficult task for offensive line coach Kyle Flood.

Lastly, Cameron Dicker had a phenomenal year punting the ball. Dicker average 46.8 yards per punt on the year, tops in the Big 12.
