Special Teams player of the year - Brandon Banks, K-State.

Henery had to be close to the top here. Not sure how he couldn't be.

Banks did lead the conference in returns, but Henery is like duct tape. He can be useful is so many ways....

Hopfully Henery takes the Groza award

If Henery (2nd team kicker and Honorable Punter just for the conference) wins the Groza or any other national awards the conference should have to eat their ballots.

Can't really argue with Banks though. That little waterbug is a weapon.
