The season is halfway done and bye weeks are starting. That makes this the perfect time to evaluate and grade every team’s performance. We’re starting on offense.

It’s been another strong wide receiver year in the state. Narrowing it down to three was exceedingly difficult. Leaving players as good as Jalen Reagor, Denzel Mims and Marquez Stevenson off the list was difficult. That was less the case at quarterback and tight end, where two players have stood head and shoulders above the rest.

North Texas, Texas and Texas Tech each slotted three players on the team. It’s no coincidence that those make up three of the top four teams in our College Power Poll. The other, Texas A&M, slotted two players. One player from each Baylor and Houston also made the list.

Only four of the 13 players from our preseason All-Texas College First Team offense made it onto the list: a quarterback, a running back and two offensive linemen. However, there’s plenty of time for the other nine to fight back into the picture by season’s end.

Without further ado, here is our Midseason All-Texas College offensive team. Keep an eye on TexasFootball.com for the defensive team, which will drop on Thursday.

All-Texas College Team: Offense

QB: Mason Fine, UNT

Fine is the easiest pick on the board. He ranks No. 5 in the nation in passing yards (2,210), No. 11 in passing touchdowns (16) and has led the Mean Green to their first 6-1 start since 1988. Even scarier? He’s only a true junior.

RB: Trayveon Williams, Texas A&M

Williams has easily been the most consistent running back in the state. The junior ranks top 10 in both rushing yards per game (114.0) and rushing touchdowns (8), despite already playing Clemson and Alabama this season. He has an excellent shot to lead the SEC in rushing and earn All-America status.

RB: Keaontay Ingram, Texas

Ingram didn’t receive more than 15 carries in a game until a week ago, but he’s been so good that it does not matter. The true freshman is averaging 6.1 yards per carry and made huge plays down the stretch to clinch wins over Oklahoma and Baylor.

WR: Antoine Wesley, Texas Tech

Wesley ranks as perhaps the most surprising star in the Big 12 to this point. He has recorded at least 65 receiving yards in every game this season, and also posted a dominant 13-reception, 261-yard, three-touchdown masterpiece against Houston. He leads the Big 12 in receptions and yards.

WR: Rico Bussey, North Texas

Bussey came into the year as the No. 3 receiver on UNT’s depth chart, but has quickly surpassed his teammates. He leads Conference USA in touchdowns (8) and ranks No. 2 in receptions (45) and receiving yards (573) halfway through the season.

WR: Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Texas

Picking between Humphrey and Collin Johnson was difficult, but Humphrey has seemed to make big plays at the right times. He posted his best game in the upset win over Oklahoma, and has run for and thrown a touchdown in tight wins.

TE: Jace Sternberger, Texas A&M

Texas A&M fans have asked to throw to the tight end for years now. Apparently, they were onto something. Sternberger leads all tight ends nationally in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He also leads the Aggies in both categories. Other than Fine, Sternberger is the easiest pick on this team.

OL: Lucas Niang, TCU

Not much has gone right for TCU’s offense, but Niang has consistently been the most effective tackle in the state.

OL: Jack Anderson, Texas Tech

It’s rare for a team’s best player to be its starting guard, but Anderson’s presence changes the way teams attack the Red Raiders’ offensive line.

OL: Will Noble, Houston

The Cougars have only allowed one sack this season, and the offense ranks among the best in college football. Noble is the leader of this unit.

OL: Paul Stawarz, Texas Tech

Stawarz has emerged as a consistent interior linemen to team up with Anderson. His presence has given new life to the Red Raider running game.

OL: Calvin Anderson, Texas

Anderson was the most prized grad transfer on the market for a reason. He’s helped the Longhorns find much more consistent offensive success.

UT: Jalen Hurd, Baylor

The former Tennessee transfer has lived up to every expectation. He ranks No. 12 nationally in receiving yards (622) and leads the Big 12 in receptions (47). Matt Rhule has also used him extensively as a goal line running back, where he’s punched in three touchdowns against Big 12 teams.

K: Cole Hedlund, North Texas

Hedlund has had quite the resurgence since transferring to UNT. He’s hit 12 of his 14 attempts – one was blocked – and nailed 27 of 28 extra points. His best game came against his former team: Arkansas. In that game, Hedlund made all three field goals and five extra points to finish with 14 total points.

Honorable Mention

Division-II Midwestern State QB Layton Rabb: 144-242 for 2,247 yards, 23 TDs, INT, 3 rush TDs

Division-III Hardin-Simmons RB JaQuan Hemphill: 60 carries for 675 yards, 9 TDs (in four games)

NAIA Southwestern Assemblies of God University WR Samuel Northey: 57 catches for 864 yards, 10 TDs
