The Big 12 Conference announced all-conference honors Thursday afternoon, and 5 Wildcats earned first-team recognition:
Risner and Reed (the defensive back, not the return specialist) were repeat first-teamers.
The Wildcats also placed three players on the second team: fullback Winston Dimel, defensive lineman Reggie Walker, and punter Nick Walsh.
Defensive lineman Trey Dishon, linebackers Jayd Kirby and Trent Tanking, defensive back Duke Shelley, and kick/punt returner Byron Pringle received honorable mention, as well. In addition, Geary received votes for Defensive Lineman of the Year, Reed received votes for Special Teams Player of the Year, and quarterback Skylar Thompson received votes for Offensive Freshman of the Year.
