Nine Texas football players made the Athlon All-Big 12 preseason list.
Athlon Sports released its All-Big 12 Preseason selection list Friday, as part of its 2015 magazine preview, and nine Longhorn players cracked the list.
No one from Texas made Athlon’s first-team ranking, but the Longhorns did have three players land on the second-team list: junior guard Kent Perkins, junior guard Sedrick Flowers and junior defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway. That trio is supposed to serve as the anchor of Texas interior in 2015, though there are questions about the offensive line linger entering the summer.
