On Thursday, the Big 12 Conference released the results of the 2020 media preseason football team, with five Texas Longhorns earning recognition — senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger, junior left tackle Sam Cosmi, junior Jack linebacker Joseph Ossai, junior cornerback D’Shawn Jamison, and junior safety Caden Sterns.
Oklahoma State senior running back Chuba Hubbard received the nod as the preseason Offensive Player of the Year, West Virginia defensive tackle Darius Stills was voted as the Defensive Player of the Year, and confidence continued in the ability of Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley to develop quarterbacks with sophomore Spencer Rattler named the Newcomer of the Year.
