Four Big 12 players were named to the Football Writers Association of America's Freshman All-American team.

• B.J. Finney, OL, Kansas State
• Tyler Lockett, KR, Kansas State
• Quandre Diggs, CB, Texas
• Michael Hunnicutt, K, Oklahoma

All worthy selections, and names you'd better get ot know.

Lockett and Diggs will be big-time stars in this league for the rest of their careers. Both already proved their worth as game-changers in their first season on campus.

Hunnicutt quietly had a solid season (21-of-24 on field goals) at a position of big scrutiny for the Sooners.

Finney was a big part of one of the Big 12's best offensive lines.

And for the curious, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen won the freshman Coach of the Year award as a first-time head man.
