1972 All-Southwest Conference football team

The 1972 All-Southwest Conference football team consists of American football players chosen, at each position, as the best players in the Southwest Conference during the 1972 NCAA University Division football season. The selectors for the 1972 season included the Associated Press (AP), selected by the conference coaches, and the United Press International (UPI).

The AP also conducted balloting for coach of the year (Grant Teaff, Baylor), player of the year (running back Roosevelt Leaks of Texas), offensive player of the year (Leaks), defensive player of the year (defensive end Roger Goree of Baylor), and newcomer of the year (Leaks).[1]

The UPI also conducted balloting for offensive player of the year (Leaks), defensive player of the year (Goree), sophomore player of the year (Leaks), and freshman player of the year (Wayne Morris, SMU). Two players were unanimous choices by the UPI voters: Leaks and offensive tackle Jerry Sisemore.[2]
