Kansas State defensive linemen Wyatt Hubert and Drew Wiley, along with running back Deuce Vaughn, were named to the Associated Press All-Big 12 teams Thursday.

Hubert was named to the first team by the AP for a second-straight year, while Wiley and Vaughn were each second-team performers. Vaughn was listed twice on the second team, both as a running back and as an all-purpose player. 

A Topeka native, Hubert ranks third in the Big 12 and 16th nationally with 8.5 sacks, while he's fifth in the league in tackles for loss with 13.0. Having declared for the NFL Draft, Hubert finished his time in Manhattan tied for eighth in school history in career sacks with 20.0.

Wiley put together his best season as a Wildcat this year with 24 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. His totals behind the line were the most by a Wildcat interior defensive lineman since 2017.

Vaughn, meanwhile, set four K-State freshman records, including rushing yards (642) and all-purpose yards (1,221) as he ranks third in the Big 12 in both categories. Vaughn is just one of just two players in the nation to tally at least 600 rushing yards and 400 receiving yards this season.

Kansas State finished 2020 with a 4-6 record, and decided not to seek a bowl bid.
