Junior David Berken and freshman James Casey were named to the offensive honorable mention team, while defensive backs Andrew Sendejo, Brandon King and Gary Anderson, Jr. were named to the honorable mention defensive team.
Casey was one of three Rice freshmen who were selected to the conference's All Freshman team by the coaches. He was joined on the offensive squad by offensive tackle Scott Mitchell, while defensive end Scott Solomon was selected to the defensive team.
