2. Cooper Beebe, OG, Kansas State Football
Offensive guard might not be the most essential position for a football team, but Beebe is the best interior lineman in the country. He was the pillar of K-State’s rushing offense powered by Deuce Vaughn and has not allowed a sack in almost two years. Beebe is equally as dominant in pass blocking as he is in the run.
I’d probably place him at No. 1 if he maintained this level of production at a more premium position. Is that unfair? Perhaps. But, in my opinion, there is no better Big 12 football player than the man we have listed next…
