Nine Longhorns make the official All-Big 12 team

Nine Texas Longhorns earned spots on the All-Big 12 team for their performance on the field

The official All-Big 12 team was released today on Big12sports.com, and nine different Texas Longhorns made the cut. Here is the full list of Longhorns on the team, and where they were listed:

  • WR Devin Duvernay (first team)
  • C Zach Shackelford (first team)
  • OT Samuel Cosmi (second team)
  • DB Brandon Jones (second team)
  • K Cameron Dicker (honorable mention)
  • QB Sam Ehlinger (honorable mention)
  • LB Joseph Ossai (honorable mention)
  • DE Malcolm Roach (honorable mention)

In addition, Duvernay was a runner up for Offensive Player of the Year, Parker Braun for Offensive Newcomer of the Year, and Samuel Cosmi for Offensive Lineman of the Year. The two first-teamers were more than deserving, as they were both key pieces in keeping the Longhorns’ offense running when not much else was working.

Duvernay was electric this year, catching 103 passes for 1294 yards and 8 touchdowns – all career highs for the senior. He lost out to Oklahoma State’s running back Chuba Hubbard, who had an outstanding year on the ground. Shackelford led a Longhorns’ run game that was able to keep churning even after losing three of the top four running backs on the roster.

Duvernay and Shackelford’s will be big shoes to fill next year, as both players are turning their sights to the NFL Draft.

Four Texas Longhorns were named to PFF’s All-Big 12 first team

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)
  • RB Keaontay Ingram (honorable mention)
  • OT Derek Kerstetter (third team)

  • DE Ta’Quon Graham (honorable mention)
  • DT Moro Ojomo (honorable mention)
  • LB Joseph Ossai (second team)
  • CB D’Shawn Jamison (honorable mention)

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.
