Baylor's football season did not go the way fans and players had hoped for with a 1-11 finish, but the Bears have something small to celebrate.

Freshman quarterback Charlie Brewer and wide receiver Denzel Mims each won awards for their play this season. Brewer was named co-offensive freshman of the year with TCU's Jalen Reagor. Mims was named second team all Big 12.

Hey, @CBrewer16!

We missed your birthday Sunday but figured this would do.

Brewer got his first start of the year vs. Kansas and led the Bears to their first and only victory of the season. He had highlight performance's in non-starts, including the near comeback versus West Virginia.

Brewer started the year third on the depth chart behind Arizona transfer Anu Solomon and sophomore Zach Smith. He finished the season with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions, 1,562 yards passing, and completed 139 of 204 passes for a 68.1 percent.

Mims started the year behind Chris Platt, but finished with big stats. As one of the few Bears offensive players to remain healthy, Mims finished the season with 1,087 yards on 61 receptions along with eight touchdowns.

Mims scored a touchdown in each of the season's first five games -- the best for a BU pass catcher since Corey Coleman scored in six straight to open 2015. He finished the season ranked eighth on the Baylor single-season list for receiving yards, tied for 10th with eight touchdowns and just outside the top 10 with 61 receptions.

Fullback Kyle Boyd, corner Harrison Hand, linebacker Clay Johnston, defensive lineman Ira Lewis and kicker/punter Connor Martin received Big 12 honorable mention honors.
