Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford Leads Preseason All-Big 12 First Team

by Kyle "Scoop" Yeldell

Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford was named the Big 12 Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, narrowly topping Texas QB Colt McCoy.

 

Bradford, the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner, was one of three individual honorees selected in balloting by 32 media members who regularly cover the conference.

 

Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was named the preseason Defensive Player of the Year and Baylor defensive tackle Phil Taylor was honored as the preseason Newcomer of the Year. Taylor, a junior, is a transfer from Penn State.

 

Of the 26 players selected to the preseason All-Big 12 team, Oklahoma had the most selections (8), followed by Oklahoma State (5), Texas (4), Baylor (3), Nebraska (2), Kansas (2), Texas Tech (1) and Missouri (1). Oklahoma State’s Dez Bryant made the team as a wide receiver and punt returner.
