Former University of Texas quarterback Vince Young, former Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops are the top honorees on The Associated Press’ all-time, all-Big 12 team.
As the conference enters the final regular-season weekend with 12 teams, the AP asked voters of this year’s all-Big 12 squad to select the best of the best from the league’s 15 seasons.
Young and Suh were chosen the top players on each side of the ball.
Suh and Stoops were runaway winners and Young narrowly beat another Texas player, running back Ricky Williams.
Of the 26 position players chosen, Suh and Williams were the only unanimous picks.
Oklahoma landed seven players on the list, the most by any school.
