With the 2019 regular season just wrapping up, Pro Football Focus has released its All-Big 12 Team. The list names four players at each position on offense and defense plus a flex defense, kicker, punter, kick returner, and punt returner. Four Texas Longhorns were named to the first team, and eight more joined them on the second team, third team, or as an honorable mention.
Here is the full list of Longhorns that made the team:
- WR Devin Duvernay (first team)
- OT Samuel Cosmi (first team)
- DE Malcolm Roach (first team)
- K Cameron Dicker (first team)
- QB Sam Ehlinger (honorable mention)

- OG Parker Braun (second team)
- DE Ta’Quon Graham (honorable mention)
- DT Moro Ojomo (honorable mention)
- LB Joseph Ossai (second team)

Devin Duvernay was PFF’s highest-graded Big 12 receiver this year, while Samuel Cosmi was its’ highest-graded Big 12 tackle. Malcolm Roach’s play against the run earned him the highest run-defense grade of all Big 12 edge defenders. Cameron Dicker “the kicker” has hit multiple clutch kicks this year, including this game-winner in the nailbiter against Kansas:
This group of deserving Longhorns have left their mark on the game this season and earned the right to be recognized as the best in the conference. There is still unfinished business, as the underclassmen turn their sights to the 2020 season while seniors like Duvernay start preparing for the NFL draft.
