AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State football program placed three players on the Associated Press All-Big 12 team, announced today by the organization.

Jaylin Noel led the way on the first team as an all-purpose selection after having more than 1,300 all-purpose yards as a senior. The Kansas City, Missouri native finished with 72 receptions for 1,077 yards and seven touchdowns. He also returned 13 punts for 199 yards, averaging better than 15.0 yards per return.

Wide receiver Jayden Higgins and defensive back Jontez Williams earned spots on the second team.

Higgins, a senior from South Miami, Florida, teamed up with Noel as the only teammates nationally to record 1,000 receiving yards. Higgins finished with 87 catches for 1,183 yards and nine receiving touchdowns, all of which are the second-best season totals in school history.

Williams had four interceptions and 38 tackles in his first season as a starter. The Starke, Florida native picked off a pass in four-straight games, including two that came in the end zone and another that sealed Iowa State’s victory against UCF.

The Cyclones return to action at the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Dec. 28 at 2:30 p.m. (CT) on ABC.
