FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin and Horned Frogs linebacker Paul Dawson are The Associated Press players of the year in the Big 12.
Boykin was a unanimous pick Monday as The Associated Press offensive player of the year. Dawson got nine of 20 votes for top defensive player.
Fourth-ranked Baylor, which shared the Big 12 title with TCU, had a league-high five first-team picks on the AP’s All Big 12 team, including Spencer Drango as a unanimous pick on offensive line.
The Horned Frogs, in only their third Big 12 season, became the first team since Texas in 2008 to sweep the top two individual awards.
Oklahoma freshman Samaje Perine, who set the NCAA single-game rushing record last month, is the top offensive newcomer. He was also a unanimous pick for first-team running back.
Baylor linebacker Taylor Young was defensive newcomer of the year.
