Ten Cowboys were selected for All-Big 12 honors on Wednesday, with eight making first or second team, highlighted by freshman outfielder Nolan Schubart. Schubart was named First Team All-Big 12 outfielder and a Co-Freshman of the Year with Kansas’ Kody Shojinaga. Schubart sits second on the OSU roster in home runs (15) and first in RBI (66). He is the second Cowboy to be named Freshman of the Year, along with Matt Smith in 1998. Tyler Wulfert, a junior college transfer, was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and an All-Big 12 Second Team infielder. He is the fifth Cowboy named Newcomer of the Year. Second baseman Roc Riggio

(infield) and two-way player Carson Benge (utility) joined Schubart with First Team All-Big 12 selections, as well.

Four other Cowboys – catcher Chase Adkison, designated hitter Colin Brueggemann, utility player Nolan McLean and relief pitcher Isaac Stebens – were named to the All-Big 12 Second Team. Benge also earned Second Team honors as an outfielder and a spot on the All-Freshman Team.

Three more Cowboys – pitchers Ben Abram, McLean and Juaron WattsBrown – are listed as AllBig 12 Honorable mentions. In total, OSU earned 12 allconference and nine first- or second-team accolades.
