The Associated Press writers who cover the Big 12 and nine Longhorns were named to the first and second teams. Texas had the most first teamers of any school with six players being honored. The fact that only three defensive players made the list is a pretty good indication of why the Longhorns underperformed this season. The Horns really need a linebacker or two to step up next year if they want to make another title run. In addition to making the second team, quarterback Colt McCoy was named the Newcomer of the Year by the AP writers.
Here's the Longhorns who made the list:
First Team Offense
OG Kasey Studdard
OT Justin Blalock
OC Lyle Sendlein
First Team Defense
DE Tim Crowder
CB Aaron Ross
S Michael Griffin
Second Team Offense
QB Colt McCoy
RB Jamaal Charles
WR Limas Sweed
Second Team Defense
None
