STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State running back Kendall Hunter, wide receiver Dez Bryant and kick returner Perrish Cox were all recognized as preseason first-team All-America selections by The Sporting News in the magazine's 2009 college football preview. In a similar fashion, Bryant was a unanimous selection as a preseason Heisman candidate as chosen by The Sporting News' panel of experts. Bryant was tabbed as the No. 4 candidate by Dave Curtis and was No. 7 by both Danny Wuerffel and Matt Hayes.

Left tackle Russell Okung joined the trio of Hunter, Bryant and Cox on the magazine's first-team all-Big 12 squad and was also tabbed as the Big 12's top quarterback protector.
