The Oklahoma State football team has been well-represented in this season’s awards.

December means awards time for college football, and the Big 12’s were announced today.

First and foremost, Emmanuel Ogbah was named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year. The junior and likely-outgoing defensive lineman shared the award with Andrew Billings from Baylor. Ogbah finished the year with 60 tackles, 16.5 of which were for a loss, and 12.5 sacks, along with three forced fumbles. Ogbah was also named to the All-Big 12 First Team, one of only four unanimous selections. The Player of the Year honors were the first ever for an Oklahoma State defensive player. Pretty impressive, right?

Not if you’re a voter for the annual All-American team. In that case, it’s only marginally impressive:

Ogbah is also the nation’s active leader in career sacks with 28, leads the Big 12, and ranks fourth nationally. He leads the Big 12 and ranks 14th nationally in tackles for loss.

    • Joining Ogbah on the first team is senior cornerback Kevin Peterson and junior tight end Blake Jarwin. The Cowboy’s second team members include sophomore receiver James Washington, (who really came on during the second half of the season,) senior defensive end Jimmy Bean (who missed the last part of the season with an injury,) and junior safety Jordan Sterns.

    Oh, but there’s more. 12 Cowboys were listed as honorable mentions for the all-conference team and awards, including Mike Gundy (Coach of the Year), Jordan Burton (Defensive Newcomer of the Year and linebacker), Darrion Daniels (Defensive Freshman of the Year), David Glidden (receiver), Ben Grogan (kicker) Michael Hunter (Defensive Newcomer of the Year), Seth Jacobs (linebacker), Jeremy Seaton (fullback), Zach Sinor (punter), Vincent Taylor (defensive lineman), Chad Whitener (linebacker) and Ogbah (Defensive Lineman of the Year).

    Not bad.
