The Big 12 may get a bad rap for the so-called "lack of defense" that's played, but that doesn't mean the league doesn't have its fair share of talented individual defenders, including at the linebacker position.
Here are the five best Big 12 linebackers for the 2019 season:
1. Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma
Oklahoma's defense was much maligned and criticized this past season for its woeful performances, but one of the few brights spots was Murray. His 155 total tackles on the year not only led the Sooners, but he also finished second in the entire conference.
