Duggan, Davis, Hodges, Dykes Win individual Awards
IRVING, Texas -- Twenty-one TCU football players and Head Coach Sonny Dykes have received All-Big 12 recognition in voting by the conference head coaches.
Quarterback Max Duggan was selected as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, return specialist Derius Davis as the Special Teams Player of the Year, linebacker Johnny Hodges as the Defensive Newcomer of the Year and Sonny Dykes was the unanimous choice for Coach of the Year.
In leading TCU to a 12-0 record, Duggan is fourth in the nation in passing efficiency with a 171.3 rating. He has accounted for 34 touchdowns on the season, including 29 scoring passes with just three interceptions. Davis is tied for the national lead with two punt returns for touchdowns, while Hodges tops TCU with 76 tackles.
With Dykes' father, Spike Dykes, being the Big 12 Coach of the Year for Texas Tech in 1996, the Dykes become just the third father-son duo in college football history, and first in the Big 12, to both be a conference coach of the year. The Dykes join Bobby Bowden (Florida State; 1993, 1997) and Tommy Bowden (Clemson, 2003) in the ACC and Kim Helton (Houston, 1996) and Tyson Helton (Western Kentucky, 2019) in Conference USA. TCU, picked to finish seventh in the preseason Big 12 poll, is 12-0 and ranked third nationally.
TCU dominated the All-Big 12 First Team with its 10 selections more than doubling the next-closest schools who had four.
TCU had seven of the 15 players on the first-team offense. Duggan and wide receiver Quentin Johnston were two of three unanimous selections at their respective positions. Joining them on the first team were Davis as the kickoff returner/punt returner, center Alan Ali, offensive guard Steve Avila, place-kicker Griffin Kell and running back Kendre Miller. Davis was also honorable mention at wide receiver.
The Horned Frogs led the way with three players on the first-team defense with linebacker Dee Winters and both starting cornerbacks in Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson and Josh Newton. It was the third straight season for Hodges-Tomlinson, a Paycom Jim Thorpe Award Finalist, to be First-Team All-Big 12. Hodges was named to the second-team defense.
