West Virginia's Worley, O'Toole selected to All-Big 12 teams

West Virginia defensive back Daryl Worley and punter Nick O'Toole were selected as first-team all-Big 12 conference honorees, the league announced Wednesday.

Three other Mountaineers — running back Wendell Smallwood, offensive lineman Tyler Orlosky and defensive back KJ Dillon — made the conference's second team.

Worley finished the regular season with a team-high six interceptions and among all Football Bowl Subdivision players, he is tied for fifth in interceptions. Most important, he helped anchor a secondary that had to cope with the loss of star safety Karl Joseph to a knee injury in early October.

O'Toole finished first among Big 12 punters with an average of 45.
