Hubbard led the nation in rushing last season with 2,094 yards and 21 rushing touchdowns. He picked up All-American and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors and was a finalist for the Doak Walker.

Wallace was an All-American, first-team All-Big 12er and Biletnikoff finalist in 2018. He played in only nine games in 2019 before an ACL injury ended his season. Still, Wallace had 903 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches in those nine games, good enough to make the All-Big 12 second team.

An NFL prospect, Jenkins has started in 28 games in the past three seasons for the Cowboys. He has been an All-Big 12 honorable mention the past two seasons.

Harvell-Peel made the All-Big 12 first team in 2019 after he had 49 tackles, five interceptions, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 13 pass breakups, three tackles for loss and a sack as a sophomore.
