It’s almost that time of the year for fall camps, which means preseason All-Big 12 teams are being selected by national publications.
The latest comes from Pro Football Focus. No Sooners made the first team, but several made the second and third teams.
The second team members were [autotag]McKade Mettauer[/autotag], [autotag]Ethan Downs[/autotag], [autotag]Rondell Bothroyd[/autotag], [autotag]Danny Stutsman[/autotag] and [autotag]Billy Bowman[/autotag].
The third team members were [autotag]Dillon Gabriel[/autotag] and [autotag]Zach Schmit[/autotag].
After a season like 2022, having zero first-team members should be expected. But if the Sooners have the bounce-back year many expect, Oklahoma should get more recognition after the season.
[autotag]Tyler Guyton[/autotag], [autotag]Dasan McCullough[/autotag], and [autotag]Jovantae Barnes[/autotag] are players to watch this season. Each player could find themselves on the end-of-the-season list. Another guy to watch out for is R Mason Thomas. He has the unique skills to have a breakout season.
By season’s end, Stustman, Gabriel, and Bowman have a great chance to earn first-team honors.
Most preseason all-conference teams aren’t going to be kind to the Sooners. However, as long as the product on the field is better, there will be plenty of Sooners receiving postseason awards in 2023.
