Oklahoma State: DL Emmanuel Ogbah

Ogbah followed his breakout season of 2014 with another outstanding season in 2015. He was one of the best pass rushers in the country. Ogbah tallied 13 sacks, which led the Big 12 and was good enough for fourth nationally. Ogbah also racked up 61 tackles and 17.5 tackles for loss. His 17.5 tackles for loss led the conference.

Ogbah was named Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the Big 12 along with Andrew Billings of Baylor. To no surprise he was also named First-Team All-Big 12.

Ogbah is a redshirt junior, but is planning on entering the 2016 NFL Draft and could be a top-15 pick with good workouts at the combine and pro day before the April draft.

Honorable Mention: Mason Rudolph, Kevin Peterson, James Washington
