Among the seven Sooners to earn All-Big 12 First Team honors is quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was named the Big 12’s Offensive Player of the Year. In addition, Bob Stoops was honored as Big 12 Coach of the Year.
Mayfield ranks No. 2 in the country this season in yards per pass attempt (9.6) and pass efficiency rating (178.9), and No. 6 in touchdown passes (35) and points responsible per game (21.0). The Oklahoma junior quarterback also was named Offensive Player of the Year in the conference by the Big 12 coaches. He joins former Sooner quarterbacks Josh Heupel (2000), Jason White (2003 and 2004)) and Sam Bradford (2008) as the only OU players to receive the AP top-player honor.
