SALT LAKE CITY – The Big 12 has been full of surprises this year. Arizona State enacted revenge against Utah in 2023 to win 27-19 and improve to 5-1, both BYU and Iowa State are undefeated, the former being much more of a surprise than the latter.

This week the Sun Devils had another great performance and for the second week in a row have the top player in the conference after Week 7. Running back Cam Skattebo is on the list for the third time in the season and also in back-to-back weeks.

His consistency has him moving up the board and is currently third behind Colorado’s WR/DB Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders quarterback. Hunter, unfortunately, suffered a shoulder injury and only played part of the first half in the loss to Kansas State.

The two-way player still leads the overall list but if he misses significant time with this injury, other players could catch and pass him for the league’s best player.

As usual, season-long results—now up to 30 total players—can be seen at the bottom of the post each week, and the scoring system is as follows.

  • First Place = Six Points
  • Second Place = Five Points
  • Third Place = Four Points
  • Fourth Place = Three Points
  • Fifth Place = Two Points
  • Sixth Place = One Point

Big 12 Football Week 7 Players Of The Week

1. Caleb McCullough, DB, Arizona State

McCullough had a huge game in upsetting Utah at home. He had a pair of interceptions. One came in the red zone when Utah was driving, but the biggest play was the interception late in the fourth quarter that ultimately sealed the victory for the Sun Devils.

He was named Big 12 defensive player of the week, had 12 tackles, six solo, and 1.5 takcles for a loss.

2. Isaiah Glasker, LB, BYU

Another defender makes this list and it is this Cougar linebacker who was all over the field in a blowout win over Arizona to help BYU remain undefeated.

Glasker interception returned for touchdown, five tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, a pass breakup, and a forced fumble.

3. Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State

Skattebo is moving up these rankings with a few good weeks in a row. He made multiple big plays in the win over Utah on Friday night including a 50-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter to give Arizona State the lead for good over the Utes.

In total, he scored twice, rushed for 158 yards and four catches for 41 yards. This performance had Skattebo earn Big 12 offensive player of the week.

4. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Those minus 50 rushing yards is not great at all but Sanders was down his top three wide receivers. Despite that, he threw for 388 yards and threw for three touchdowns and was 34 of 40. It was not enough for the Buffs to upset Kansas State as they fell, 31-28.

5. Carsen Hanson, RB, Iowa State

Iowa State is the other undefeated team in the Big 12 and Hanson bullied his way on the ground with three touchdowns and 96 yards. Two of his touchdowns came in the fourth quarter as Cyclones took care of West Virginia on the road.

6. Micah Bernard, RB, Utah

Bernard has been doing everything he can to keep Utah in games this year, and he tried his best again on Friday night. His 129 rushing yards and a touchdown were not enough as the Utes fell to Arizona State. Bernard also caught five passes for 61 yards in a valiant effort.
