Not a bad place to start when handing out honors. The Kansas City Star selected Texas quarterback Colt McCoy and Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh as its top offensive and defensive players, and picked Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas and Missouri defensive end Aldon Smith as the top newcomers. The top coach? The man with the perfect record, Texas’ Mack Brown.
Defensive newcomer
Aldon Smith, Missouri, Fr.
He became a sack machine in his redshirt freshman season. Smith, from Raytown, has matched Justin Smith’s school record with 11 sacks. He ranks 10th nationally in that department and is 11th in tackles for loss, and no other freshman is close.
Defensive player
Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska, Sr.
He’s a defensive tackle with outside linebacker quickness. Offenses game plan around Suh, who ranks among the league’s top 10 in sacks and passes defended. He could be the overall No. 1 selection in April’s NFL draft, and he’ll become Nebraska’s first consensus All-American in nearly a decade.
Coach
Mack Brown, Texas
Sure, the Longhorns were the favorites entering this season. But Brown has put together the most successful regular season of his career and stands one victory away from playing for the national championship for the second time in five years.
Offensive player
Colt McCoy, Texas, Sr.
Early on he scuffled, at least by his lofty standards. But over the season’s second half, McCoy returned to the top of his game and may now be the Heisman Trophy favorite. Along the way, he set the NCAA record for most career victories by a starting quarterback (44 and counting), and he now chases a national championship.
Offensive newcomer
Daniel Thomas, Kansas State, Jr.
He played quarterback at Northwest Mississippi Community College, became a running back for the Wildcats and had an impact at both positions. Thomas leads the Big 12 in rushing at 105.4 yards per game, with some of that coming from the wildcat formation. He also tossed a touchdown pass.
