Martin, Knight and Scott also earned honorable mention recognition from the media.

Senior defensive tackle Jacob Robinson was the team's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award recipient.

Redshirt junior kicker Logan Justus (second team media, third team coaches), fifth-year senior return specialist J-Shun Harris II (honorable mention), senior safety Jonathan Crawford (honorable mention) and redshirt sophomore husky Marcelino Ball (honorable mention) were honored yesterday.
