Sooners Lead Preseason All-Big 12 Team
July 19, 2011 | Football
NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma linebacker Travis Lewis was named the Big 12 Conference's Preseason Defensive Player of the Year by the league's media, while seven other Sooners received first team honors.
Aside from Lewis, receiver Ryan Broyles, center Ben Habern, quarterback Landry Jones, running back Roy Finch, cornerback Demontre Hurst and defensive ends Frank Alexander and Ronnell Lewis made the team. Broyles also made the squad as a punt returner.
Lewis was an All-Big 12 Second Team pick in 2010 and OU's leading tackler with 109 stops, good for 12th in the Conference. He produced three takeaways in the Sooners' Big 12 Championship win with one interception and two fumble recoveries. The 6-2 senior recorded double-digit tackles in four games last season.
OU had the most selections on the team.
The media Preseason Big 12 Poll will be released on Wednesday, followed by the annual Big 12 Media Days in Dallas, July 25-26. SoonerSports.com will once again provide complete coverage of OU's session at Big 12 Media Days on Tuesday, July 26.
