Several Tigers Named to All-Big 12 Team
By Ben Wilson
Yesterday, the Associated Press released the All-Big 12 teams.
"Senior TE Michael Egnew and sophomore RB Henry Josey were recognized as first team offensive selections, while senior DT Dominique Hamilton and sophomore CB E.J. Gaines joined them as first team defensive selections. Egnew and Josey were also selected to the league’s first team by Big 12 coaches earlier this week, while Hamilton and Gaines earned honorable mention recognition. The Tigers were second in the conference in first team selections, trailing just Oklahoma State."
Despite having a down season (The Tigers were ranked 21st in the preseason), the Tigers were still led by a number of outstanding players. While their talent might not match the likes of Blaine Gabbert or Alden Smith, it was enough to show both Big 12 coaches and the Associated Press voters that they are worthy of conference recognition.
