Sam Bradford continues to pile up the honors as he was selected by members of the Big 12 media as the conference's Preseason Offensive Player of the Year on Friday.

Bradford, last season's Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, was also selected as the Player of the Year in the Big 12 Conference in 2008.

Bradford was joined by Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh who edged out Gerald McCoy for the Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and Baylor's Phil Taylor as Preseason Newcomer of the Year.

Oklahoma was well-represented garnering eight first-team All Big 12 selections, the most of any team in the conference.

Bradford is joined on the first-team by Trent Williams, Jermaine Gresham and Demarco Murray.

Defensively, Gerald McCoy, Travis Lewis, Dominique Franks and Jeremy Beal also represented the Sooners as first-team selections.

On Thursday, it was announced that Oklahoma and Texas tied for the media's vote as top team in the Big 12 South Division.

Big 12 Media Days will take place next week July 27-29 and Oklahoma will be represented on Tuesday by Bob Stoops, Sam Bradford, Jermaine Gresham and Gerald McCoy.

SoonerScoop.com will have full coverage of the Sooners as well as the rest of the teams in the Big 12.
