Three Kansas State football players made the Big 12’s preseason all-conference team, the league announced Wednesday.
Senior safety Dante Barnett, senior left tackle Cody Whitehair and junior fullback Glenn Gronkowski represent the Wildcats on the squad, which was voted on by media that regularly cover the conference.
For Barnett, the honor adds to a long list of preseason honors. The Tulsa native is also on the watch list for the Bednarik and Thorpe awards, as well as the Nagurski Trophy. He is K-State’s top returning tackler, coming off a junior season in which he made 77 stops and three interceptions.
