Junior OL, Jack Anderson, Senior Dl, Eli Howard, and Sophomore P Austin McNamara all were voted onto the Preseason Al-Big 12 team by the media.
Jack Anderson, is returning to Tech after suffering an injury last season that cut his junior campaign short. He and Deaton will be anchors to a Tech OL moving into next season. Anderson was a Freshman All-American in 2017 and has 28 starts in his time at Tech.
Eli Howard is now the “elder statesman” on the DL for the Red Raiders with Broderick Washington getting drafted by the Ravens in this past year’s NFL Draft. Howard has garnered an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection in his time at Tech and is just shy of being in the Top 10 for sacks in program history.
Austin McNamara came to the 806 last year and made an instant impact as a freshman. He was voted as an All-Big 12 first-team selection as a freshman after leading the country in average punt distance (45 yards).
