Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter headline 2024 All-Big 12 football awards

The Big 12 postseason awards are here, including the All-Big 12 teams that highlight the conference’s best players from the 2024 season.

There’s a heavy dose of Colorado, with the Buffaloes sweeping the Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year Awards. That should come as no surprise, as the two players who earned the recognition — quarterback Shedeur Sanders and cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter — are also Heisman Trophy contenders.

In any case, let’s get to the awards below, as well as the All-Big 12 teams.
