OSU's Bennett Sherrer was one of nine players in the league honored with a 4.00 grade point average. It is the first Academic All-Big 12 honor for Sherrer who graduated in December with a B.S. in Sports Management and is now working on a Master of Business Administration.

Several Cowboys received recognition for multiple times in their careers, including Dusty Hone and Austin Harris were named to the first team for a third-straight season. Daton Fix collected first-team honors for the first time in his career to go with two appearances on the second team in 2019 and 2021.
