Individual UT players throughout both the offense and defense had excellent seasons. Five were rewarded on Thursday with All-Big 12 honors.
To say it was a disappointing season for Texas would be quite the understatement. Coming in, a Big 12 championship was the expectation and the Longhorns came up well short. COVID-19 canceled their final game of the regular season against Kansas and saw Texas finish with a 6-3 record, third in the conference.
However, there were still some positives to come out. Individual players throughout both the offense and defense had excellent seasons. Five were rewarded on Thursday afternoon with All-Big 12 honors.
Samuel Cosmi and Joseph Ossai lead the way on the first team. Beginning with Ossai, he had a breakout season in his new jack position. 55 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks drastically improved Ossai’s NFL Draft stock.
Much of the same with Cosmi. The Longhorns’ offensive line struggled all season but had one person they could rely on at left tackle.
Three Longhorns appear on the second team in Sam Ehlinger, Chris Brown, and Cameron Dicker.
QB1 threw for over 2,400 yards this season while completing 60.1% of his throws and having 25 touchdowns. He added eight more scores on the ground to give him 30 or more touchdowns in all three years as the full-time starter.
Chris Brown, who has already declared for the NFL Draft, managed 46 tackles, 2.0 which were for a loss. He also notched one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and seven passes defended.
Finally, with Dicker, he was voted to the second team, despite having the worst year from a statistical standpoint. Dicker made all but one PAT, going 43 of 44. It was with his field goals where he struggled, going 13 or 18. The lowest make percentage of his career.
Here are the honorable mentions Texas received for All-Big 12 teams and Big 12 awards:
Cade Brewer (TE), Keondre Coburn (DL), Samuel Cosmi (OLoY), Brennan Eagles (WR), Ta’Quon Graham (DL), D’Shawn Jamison (STPoY, KR/PR), Derek Kerstetter (OL), Joshua Moore (WR), DeMarvion Overshown (LB), Joseph Ossai (DPoY, DLoY), Bijan Robinson (OFoY)
