We’re ramping up toward the Big 12’s media day sessions and various predictions are rolling in for the 2023 season. As you might expect, Texas is seeing the most acclaim.
The league’s deadline for media to submit league predictions just passed with a handful of media members sharing their picks. The first-team all-conference selections are the next noteworthy item under consideration.
We’ve shared superlative predictions and discussed others’ predicted conference standings this week. One common theme from the projections is that the Texas Longhorns appear head-and-shoulders above competition in what they return and the roster they field.
Several Longhorns have the ability to secure all-conference accolades. Wide receiver Xavier Worthy seems almost certain to win first team honors, while AD Mitchell could win Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. Ja’Tavion Sanders joins the receiving trio as one who should make the first team list as well.
Here’s a look at our preseason first-team all-conference prediction for the 2023 season.
