After a successful campaign that included a regular-season conference championship, Iowa State dominated Thursday's 2020 All-Big 12 Football Awards.

The Cyclones were winners in three major categories: Running back Breece Hall took home Offensive Player of the Year, linebacker Mike Rose captured Defensive Player of the Year, and Matt Campbell was named Coach of the Year.

Hall is the second Iowa State player to earn the top Big 12 offensive honor, joining fellow running back Troy Davis in 1996. The sophomore led the FBS with 1,357 rushing yards while averaging 6.1 yards per carry and scoring 19 total touchdowns in 10 games.

Campbell captured Coach of the Year for the third time in his five seasons with the program.

The Cyclones had nine players, including Hall and Rose, named to the All-Big 12 first team. Quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end Charlie Kolar, and defensive back Greg Eisworth were among the other honorees.

To round out an impressive streak of accomplishments, wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson won Offensive Newcomer of the Year, and defensive back Isheem Young earned Defensive Co-Freshman of the Year.

Campbell's squad is scheduled to battle Oklahoma for the Big 12 title Saturday.
