Junior wide receiver Dede Westbrook was named the Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year Wednesday.

The Cameron, Texas native transferred to Oklahoma before the 2015 season after playing at Blinn Community College. Westbrook racked up 674 yards and four touchdowns on 42 receptions this season, and started all 12 of the Sooners' regular season games.

Westbrook's was Oklahoma's third award on Tuesday, following Baker Mayfield's Offensive Player of the Year trophy and Bob Stoops' Coach of the Year honors.
