The Sunflower State was well represented on the Associated Press’ All-Big 12 team.
Kansas State football players Alex Barnes and Dalton Risner both received first-team honors, along with Pooka Williams Daniel Wise and Joe Dineen from Kansas.
Barnes, a junior running back, led the Big 12 with 1,355 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. He was the focal point of K-State’s offense all season. Risner, a senior right tackle who is expected to play in the NFL next year, paved the way for him on many running plays.
Williams, a freshman running back for the Jayhawks who is suspended from the team following a misdemeanor domestic battery charge, was the first team’s all-purpose player.
