DALLAS, Texas — Kansas and West Virginia were the only two schools that failed to land a player on the All-Big 12 preseason team released Wednesday.
The 26-player team, selected by media members who cover the league, features five players from Texas and Kansas State, along with four each from TCU and Texas Tech.
Though WVU failed to place a player on the offensive, defensive or special-teams units, recently enrolled transfer Charles Sims was predicted as the league’s Newcomer of the Year.
Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk—a 1,012-yard rusher last season—was selected Offensive Player of the Year and TCU defensive end Devonte Fields was selected the top defensive player.
The preseason poll will be released Thursday.
