The Big 12 shared the 2025 Preseason All-Big 12 football team on Monday, celebrating the league’s standout players before the season kicks off. The selected individuals will feature prominently at the upcoming Big 12 Media Days, happening Tuesday and Wednesday in Frisco, Texas.

Also announced were three individual preseason awards. Sam Leavitt from Arizona State earned the Offensive Player of the Year designation, while Jacob Rodriguez from Texas Tech was recognized as the Defensive Player of the Year. Devon Dampier of Utah was honored as the conference’s Newcomer of the Year.

Texas Tech and Iowa State each took home three selections, reflecting their impressive rosters as both programs gear up to challenge for the Big 12 title, a title they recently contested last season against Arizona State.

This year, the Big 12 decided against releasing a preseason media poll, marking a notable change of pace as last year’s projections were far from accurate, with preseason No. 16 Arizona State capturing the conference title and earning a spot in the College Football Playoff.
