Kansas State: LB Elijah Lee

Elijah Lee build continued to build off a strong 2014 season where he garnered Honorable Mention Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year Lee honors. Lee had a very productive season for the 6-6 Wildcats. He was a stat sheet stuffer as he racked up 75 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and two interceptions.

Lee, who is only a sophomore, is turning into one of the better defensive players in the Big 12. He, along with Malik Jefferson of Texas, are just a few of the young and talented linebackers in the Big 12. Look for him to only get better in his junior and senior seasons. Lee was a Second Team All-Big 12 honoree in 2015.

Honorable Mention: DL Travis Britz, OL Cody Whitehair
