Cyclones honored on All-Big 12 squad
Iowa State seniors Xavier Hutchinson and Will McDonald IV were honored with All-Big 12 honors from The Associated Press.
Hutchinson earned a spot on the AP All-Big 12 First Team, while McDonald was recognized on the second team.
Hutchinson led the Big 12 and broke ISU’s single-season record with 107 receptions, averaging 97.6 yards per game. His 1,171 yards rank seventh nationally.
McDonald finished with 36 tackles, including 7.5 stops for a loss. He had five sacks and seven quarterback hurries, while forcing a fumble and recovering a fumble.
TCU quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Max Duggan is The Associated Press Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in a unanimous vote, as was the selection of Sonny Dykes for Coach of the Year after his first season with the Horned Frogs.
Kansas State defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah was chosen as the top defensive player, and Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel, a transfer from UCF, was the newcomer of the year.
Nine TCU players — six on offense, three on defense — were first-team picks.
