Sixteen TCU football players have been named All-Mountain West Conference with quarterback Andy Dalton, linebacker Tank Carder and return specialist Jeremy Kerley receiving Player of the Year accolades.
Dalton is just the second player in league history to be a two-time MWC Offensive Player of the Year. He is also the first Horned Frog to be a back-to-back conference offensive player of the year since LaDainian Tomlinson (1999-00).
Carder is the third straight Horned Frog to be named the MWC Defensive Player of the Year. Former TCU All-America defensive end Jerry Hughes was the recipient the last two years.
Kerley is the second player in MWC history to earn Special Teams Player of the Year accolades on multiple occasions. He was also last year's recipient.
The Horned Frogs topped the MWC with nine first-team selections, matching a league record shared by last year's TCU squad and the 2000 Colorado State Rams.
TCU led the league in all-conference selections (17) for the fifth time in its six seasons of MWC play.
