The Big 12 media released its preseason All-Big 12 selections on Wednesday. Three Texas Longhorns made the team.
It should come as no surprise that Bijan Robinson and Xavier Worthy represent Texas on the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side, DeMarvion Overshown cracks the list.
Kansas State (6) and Baylor (5) were well-represented on the list. Both teams return key players in the trenches and should have great offensive lines.
Iowa State claimed four all-conference slots despite losing key players to the NFL draft. High-upside quarterback Hunter Dekkers will lead the Cyclones this season.
The most surprising omission is Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin Mims who many regard as one of the top receivers in the conference. Only the Sooners’ punter Michael Turk made the all-conference team.

Additionally, Bijan Robinson was announced as the preseason pick for Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Robinson had a strong end to his freshman season before becoming the featured running back last season. Many anticipate a great junior campaign for the talented running back.
