No, 2 — Center Creed Humphrey

Creed Humphrey, in his third season at Oklahoma, did everything expected of him and then some. The third-team Associated Press All-American and All-Big 12 First-Team selection from Shawnee, Oklahoma, was the anchor of the Oklahoma offensive line that cleared the way for the country’s 11th-best offense this season.

For a young quarterback like Spencer Rattler, it is crucial to begin your development with guys you can trust protecting you. Humphrey did this in big ways whether in run blocking or pass protection.

With three years in this offense, he showed what a great football mind he has, and it was on full display in the consistency with his protections all season. He was also the leader of this young offensive line the past two seasons. The OU offensive front, one of the best in the Big 12 if not the entire country, needed that guy to look up to, and Humphrey was their man.

Humphrey leaves Oklahoma for bigger and better things in the NFL, and whatever team picks him up will be extremely fortunate to have him on the roster
