Four Oklahoma State Cowboys garnered Big 12 Player of the Week honors after their performances against Tulsa.
 
Wide receiver Tylan Wallace was tabbed the Offensive Player of the Week, while linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez picked up Defensive Player of the Week. Kicker Alex Hale was named Special Teams Player of the Week and freshman quarterback Shane Illingworth earned Newcomer of the Week.
 
Wallace had three receptions of at least 20 yards in the third quarter alone to help swing momentum and put OSU in the lead. He finished with four catches for 99 yards, including catches of 36 and 29 yards.
 
On the defensive side, Rodriguez’ fourth quarter sack on fourth down with 2:01 remaining sealed the win for the Cowboys. The linebacker finished with 10 tackles, a team-leading nine solo stops, two QB hurries, 2.0 tackles-for-loss and 1.0 sack.
 
Hale connected on all three of his field goal attempts, hitting from 27, 40 and 29 yards and made his lone PAT attempt. The four place kicks marked the first attempts of his career. 
 
Entering the game in the third quarter, Illingworth became the first true freshman to quarterback the Cowboys in his first career game since Wes Lunt in 2012.  Illingworth completed all three pass attempts for 78 yards on his first drive. The QB finished 4-of-5 passing for 79 yards.
 
The weekly honor is the second for Rodriguez in his career, while the other three recipients are first-time award winners.
