Malcolm Rodriguez and Kolby Harvell-Peel were first team All-Big 12 selections by the Associated Press, and now the media voters have labeled the pair All-Americans.
Rodriguez, who was named to the FWAA All-American Second Team last week, was named a Second Team All-American by the AP on Monday. Harvell-Peel made an appearance as a Third Team selection.
The pair are the Cowboys’ first defensive players to be named AP All-Americans since Justin Gilbert was a Third Team selection in 2013. It’s the first time since 1985 that OSU has had two defenders named AP All-Americans in the same season; Leslie O’Neal and Mark Moore were both First Team Selections back then.
