BYU guards Delaney Gibb and Olivia Hamlin both received All-Big 12 honors after helping the Cougars to their best Big 12 finish since entering the league in 2023, the conference announced on Tuesday.

Gibb was named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while Hamlin received All-Big 12 honorable mention honors and earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team.

“Delaney Gibb is the bullseye player for every opponent we play, yet she continues to make plays for others and herself to help our team win,” head coach Lee Cummard said. “She is a player that every coach wants on their team as she is all about winning and putting the team first. Delaney has had a great year and has grown a lot. We are glad to have her on our team and for what she does to help build a culture of winning here at BYU.”

After earning unanimous Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors and a spot on the All-Big 12 Second Team as a freshman, Delaney Gibb picked up where she left off to open her sophomore season.

Gibb averaged 16.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 0.5 blocks over the first four games. She recorded her first 20-point performance of the season against San Jose State Spartans, knocking down five 3-pointers, then dished a career-high eight assists in BYU’s win over Fresno State Bulldogs to help the Cougars start 4-0.

The Raymond, Alberta, native elevated her play in the second half of conference action, averaging 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over the final eight Big 12 games. She helped the Cougars finish 4-4 in that stretch, securing a 9-9 conference record and a ninth-place finish — BYU’s best since joining the league in 2023.

Gibb’s signature performance came in an 86-74 victory at Utah on Feb. 21. Nearly a year after scoring a then-career-high 36 points in Salt Lake City, she delivered 37 points, five assists and five rebounds at the Huntsman Center. After scoring 10 points in the first half, Gibb erupted for 27 points after halftime, adding two assists, two rebounds, a steal and a block to help BYU complete its first season sweep of Utah as conference opponents since 2011.

Hamlin made an immediate impact for BYU the minute she stepped on campus. The native of Santa Clara, Utah, helped the Cougars to a 5-0 record, scoring in double figures in each of her first five games. Over that five-game stretch, the freshman averaged 14.6 points per game, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.6 steals.

With the injury to BYU’s starting guard, Delaney Gibb, Hamlin was thrust into the starting lineup just four games into her freshman season. Hamlin made nine starts in Gibb’s absence and helped the Cougars to an 11-1 non-conference record and their best non-conference winning percentage in program history.

The 5-foot-10 guard reprised her role as the sixth man when Gibb returned to the starting lineup in conference play and thrived in that role. She remained the Cougars’ second-leading scorer, behind Gibb, with 12.2 points per game. She was also a defensive anchor for BYU as she swiped 1.6 steals per game over the final 17 games of the season, to go along with 2.4 rebounds.

The freshman notched a new career high with 23 points in BYU’s win over Audi Crooks and the Iowa State Cyclones on Feb. 10. Hamlin exploded for 19 first-half points to push the Cougars to a 43-42 halftime lead. She was an efficient 9-of-18 from the floor and knocked down three triples for a game-high 23 points, leading BYU to an 83-69 win.

Of qualifying players, Hamlin ranks second in the Big 12 among freshmen with 12.6 points per game. She also leads all conference freshmen in steals and steals per game with 53 and 1.77, respectively.

Hamlin put her imprint on the BYU freshman record book as she sits sixth in steals (53) and steals per game, (1.77), seventh in total points (378), made field goals (143), made threes (44) and 3-point field goals per game (1.47), eighth in minutes played (849:13) ninth in points per game (12.60) and 10th in minutes per game (28:18).

“Olivia has had a great freshman season and continues to get better every day,” said Cummard. “She is a flat-out scorer and changes the game as quickly as anyone who has ever played at BYU. She has such a high ceiling and is going to be trouble for Big 12 opponents for years to come.”

Olivia Miles of TCU was named Player and Newcomer of the Year, Kansas’ Jaliya Davis got the nod for Freshman of the Year, West Virginia’s Jordan Harrison earned Defensive Player of the Year honors, Snudda Collins of Texas Tech took home the Sixth Player of the Year honors, Arianna Jackson of Iowa State was given the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award and Texas Tech’s Krista Gerlich was named Coach of the Year.
