This is the first preseason honors for both players.

Sills, who transferred into the program from West Virginia prior to the 2020 season, was a first-team All-Big 12 selection by the Associated Press and an honor mention by the Big 12 coaches. He’s also one of just two Cowboy offensive linemen who started all 11 games this past season, with his 844 snaps on the season ranking first amongst OSU offensive linemen. Due to several injuries along the line, Sills was shifted to nearly every line position in 2020, with most of his starts coming at left guard.

As for Harvell-Peel, he was a second-team All-Big 12 selection in 2020, starting in 10 of 11 games this past season. He ranked fourth on the team with 44 total tackles, 31 of which were solo stops. He also recorded four pass breakups, and two interceptions.

Those numbers are coming off one of the best performances on the team as a sophomore where he recorded 71 total tackles, 13 pass breakups, five interceptions, two forced fumbles and fumble recoveries apiece.
