Kansas State earns three Big 12 Player of the Year awards, four first-teamers

The Big 12 today announced their 2022 football awards, and although the final tally for Kansas State wasn’t as strong as the preseason haul, it was still impressive.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, junior Felix Anudike-Uzomah was named both Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year, as well as being a unanimous selection to the all-Big 12 first team. It’s King Felix’s second first-team selection, and he also shared the Defensive Lineman of the Year honors last year with Iowa State’s Will McDonald as well as receiving votes for Defensive Player of the Year.
