The Big 12 announced its conference awards on Thursday and the Arizona State football team was very well represented in the honors.

However, ASU football fans were left fuming over a perceived snub of one of their players.

Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders took home the Big 12 Football Offensive Player of the Year award, which did not sit well with Sun Devils fans.

On social media, supporters expressed their displeasure that ASU running back Cam Skattebo, who earned the conference’s Offensive Player of the Week five times this season, did not receive the Offensive Player of the Year accolade.

Sanders completed 74.2% of his passes, throwing for 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns, with just eight interceptions over 12 games for the 9-3 Buffaloes.

In contrast, Skattebo rushed for 1,398 yards and 17 touchdowns in 11 games, contributing significantly to the Sun Devils’ remarkable 10-2 regular season. Additionally, he caught 35 passes for 468 yards and two touchdowns.

Fans React to Award Snub

Here are some of the responses from ASU fans regarding the award announcement:

Despite the controversy surrounding Skattebo’s snub, Arizona State did celebrate other awards. Jordyn Tyson was named Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year, while Sam Leavitt was recognized as Offensive Freshman of the Year.

Kenny Dillingham earned the title of Coach of the Year in the conference.

Skattebo’s efforts were not completely overlooked, as he was named to the 2024 All-Big 12 First Team as a running back. He joined teammates Tyson, OL Leif Fautanu, and DB Xavion Alford as first-team selections.

Furthermore, Leavitt earned a spot as a Second-Team QB, alongside TE Chamon Metayer, DL C.J. Fite, and LB Keyshaun Elliott, who also received second-team nominations.
