The 2025 Associated Press All-Big 12 team, as selected by a panel of 17 media members who regularly cover the league selected just one Iowa State player to either the first or second offense or defense when the Big 12 made the announcement on Thursday.

The lone Cyclone to make the list was junior running back Carson Hansen, named to the second team offense. Hansen played in all 14 games, making eight starts, during a breakout season … finishing the season with six rushing touchdowns while rushing for 952 yards on 188 carries.

Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez was named The Associated Press Big 12 defensive player of the year Thursday, when he was among seven first-team picks on the all-conference team from the playoff-bound Red Raiders.

Rodriguez has 117 tackles and is the Bowl Subdivision leader with seven forced fumbles. He is the first FBS player since 2005 with at least five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and four interceptions in the same season. His national awards already include the Bronko Nagurski Trophy (top defensive player), the Lombardi Award (top lineman or linebacker) and Butkus Award (top linebacker).

BYU’s Kalani Sitake was named the Big 12’s top coach and Cougars running back LJ Martin, the league’s leading rusher, was picked as offensive player of the year. Both of BYU’s losses this season are to Texas Tech, including in the conference championship game last Saturday.
