IRVING, Texas – Seven different Monster Energy Big 12 Football programs received weekly honors on Monday, as voted on by a panel of media who regularly cover the Conference. Arizona State and Texas Tech were the only programs to earn multiple awards for the batch of honors that included five first-time winners this season.

Castellanos threw for career highs of 362 yards and five passing touchdowns to become the first Texas Tech player in school history to throw for 350 yards, pass for five touchdowns and rush for 100 yards in a game. He became the first quarterback from a Power Four conference to post that stat line since 2020. The Waycross, Georgia native guided the Red Raiders to a 53-48 win over West Virginia as Texas Tech’s offense amassed 638 total yards of offense.

Guiding the Utes to a rivalry win, 28-20, over then-No. 7 BYU, Dampier was productive as a dual threat, accounting for all four Utah touchdowns. He threw for 177 yards and a pair of scores without an interception and rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns. The senior from Phoenix also caught a 29-yard pass on fourth down to become the second FBS player in the last 30 seasons to tally multiple passing and rushing touchdowns with 25 yards or more receiving in the same game.

Fields intercepted a pair of passes in the Cowboys’ 66-28 win at Kansas State to increase his FBS-best total to seven this season. He returned his interceptions for 10 and 27 yards as both set up subsequent Oklahoma State scoring drives. Fields is the first Big 12 player with seven interceptions through nine games since 2019 and ranks fourth in the program’s single-season history.

Tallying 18 tackles, including three-and-a-half for a loss and two sacks at Arizona State, Lampron earns his second consecutive weekly honor. The 18 tackles were the most by a Big 12 player this season and marked his fifth consecutive game of double-digit tackles. He also became the first Colorado player to record consecutive multi-sack games since 1993. Lampron enters the week ranked third nationally with 99 total tackles.

Salgado-Medina’s game-winner from 37 yards out with 38 seconds remaining versus TCU was one of his three made field goals on Saturday. In addition to the game-winning kick, the junior also connected on field goals from 23 and 43 yards out for the first three-field goal game of his career.

With his second weekly honor this season, Williams kept the field position in Baylor’s favor in the team’s 42-31 Homecoming win over Iowa State. He booted six punts for 262 yards for an average of 43.7 yards, which included a pair of kicks downed inside the 20-yard line. His kicks on Saturday were highlighted by a 57-yard boomer, which marked the senior’s eighth game this season with at least one punt of over 50 yards.

Fette made the most of his first career start, completing 13 of his 19 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown alongside 26 yards on the ground. The El Paso native also caught a touchdown in Arizona State’s 20-10 victory over Colorado. Fette became the first Sun Devil quarterback since Jake Plummer in 1996 to throw and catch a touchdown in the same game.

Texas Tech earned Offensive Line of the Week following its historic 53-48 win over West Virginia as the Red Raiders became the first FBS team in three decades to have a quarterback throw for 350 yards with five touchdowns and rush for 100 yards, coupled with a running back with 150 yards on the ground, in the same game. Texas Tech ended the night with its most yards of offense in a Big 12 game since 2020 with 638.

Stymying the Buffaloes to just 64 rushing yards on 34 carries, Arizona State’s defensive line helped its defense amass eight tackles for a loss that included a quartet of sacks. Junior defensive end Albert Smith III had a career-best three sacks against Colorado, which tied for the most by an FBS player in Week 10. The Sun Devils also forced the Buffs into a 0-for-3 day on fourth down.
