Big 12 football media days are right around the corner. As part of it, we will once again be taking part in the 2019 Big 12 Media Preseason Football Poll.
The poll includes picks for final Big 12 standings, All-Big 12 Conference Teams, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. Coincidentally, all three of our picks for the major awards – and 18 of the 29 all-conference picks – played high school football in the state of Texas.
You can also find a variety of these picks – and many more – in our summer preview magazine, which hits bookshelves the first week of July. Become a subscriber to
*note: Our ballot will remain paywalled until the Big 12 releases its official versions next week.
