All-Big Ten Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Selections
Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year
Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year
Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year
Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year

Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back of the Year
Bakken-Andersen Kicker of the Year
Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year
Rodgers-Dwight Return Specialist of the Year
Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year and Dave McClain Coach of the Year
Penn State senior Tyler Warren is guaranteed to win the tight end honor and will be up for the offensive player of the year honor with Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel and Indiana’s Kurtis Rourke. Ohio State’s Caleb Downs will likely take the defensive back of the year award honor, though Nittany Lions senior Jaylen Reed certainly has a case to make for it. The defensive linemen of the year honor will go to either Oregon’s Matayo Uiagalelei, Indiana’s Mikail Kamara, or the Lions’ Abdul Carter, who should be the favorite for it. The defensive player of the year honor is likely down to Downs and Carter, as well.
