Austin, Texas – Four Texas football student-athletes were named to the Preseason All-Big 12 team on Tuesday, as announced by the conference office and voted on by the league's media representatives.
Quarterback Sam Ehlinger highlighted the group, as the junior was named the league's Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. Offensive lineman Zach Shackelford, kicker Cameron Dicker and safety Caden Sterns were all also selected.
Ehlinger, a native of Austin, Texas, threw for 25 touchdowns and added 16 on the ground, the most ever by a Longhorn quarterback, last season.
