Four Big 12 football players were named 2014 Consensus All-Americans.
The Big 12 has 106 honorees since the formation of the conference in 1996 to rank second among all leagues during that time span and just two selections off the top spot.
Big 12 representatives include junior offensive lineman Spencer Drango (Baylor), senior kick returner and all-purpose player Tyler Lockett (K-State), junior defensive lineman Malcom Brown (Texas) and senior linebacker Paul Dawson (TCU).
To be selected a player has to be named first team on at least two of the five selected All-American teams. Second and third teams were used to break ties. Twelve players were unanimous choices by the five organizations used in the consensus chart — American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and Walter Camp Foundation. Each of the five teams has a different way of listing the returner or all-purpose player. For the purpose of the Consensus All-America team those categories were treated as one position.
