Eleven players from the Big 12 were among 56 FBS nominees for the AFCA Good Works Team, an honor given to players based on the positive influence they have on their communities.

Fifty-six more nominees from FCS and lower division schools joined the players from the Big 12. Later this year, 11 players from FBS schools and 11 from lower division schools will be selected to the team.

Last year, Kansas safety Darrell Stuckey, who later won the Big 12 Sportsman of the Year award for his off-the-field efforts, was the Big 12's sole representation on the 22-member team.
