The Associated Press picked OU's Mark Andrews as the All-Big 12 tight end. Andrews had 17 catches for 286 yards this season. Big 12 coaches voted OSU's Blake Jarwin the all-conference tight end. Jarwin had 14 catches for 190 yards. AP picked Kansas State's Glenn Gronkowski as the second-team all-conference tight end. Gronkowski had five catches for 76 yards.
So it's simple to see that Big 12 defenses don't see a ton of tight end usage. That changes for the Sooners in the Orange Bowl.
Clemson junior Jordan Leggett has 34 catches for 442 yards and seven touchdowns.
