Texas Tech defensive end Brandon Sharpe and offensive guard Brandon Carter were first-team honorees on the coaches’ all-Big 12 Conference team released Tuesday.

Sharpe set a school single-season record with 15 sacks this season, and Carter helped Tech to current rankings of seventh in the nation in total offense and ninth in scoring offense.

The all-Big 12 teams were selected by a vote of the league’s head coaches. They could not vote for their own players.

Tech defensive end Daniel Howard, who has eight sacks, and cornerback Jamar Wall were named to the second team. Both are seniors.

Tech players receiving honorable mention were running back Baron Batch, wide receiver Alex Torres, offensive tackle Marlon Winn, linebacker Bront Bird, defensive tackle Colby Whitlock and safety Cody Davis.

Tech finished the regular season 8-4.

The Associated Press All-Big 12 team, selected by a panel of 20 sportswriters who cover the league, will be released Thursday. The AP’s awards for players and newcomers of the year will be released today.
