Michigan’s Dominic Zvada (kicker), Eddie Czapalicki (punter), and Iowa’s Kaden Wetjen (returner) earn special teams player of the year honors
12/03/2024 11:50:57 AMThose were just announced.
Penn State tight end Tyler Warren is the Big Ten tight end of the year, Iowa’s Kaleb Johnson is the conference’s running back of the year
12/03/2024 11:43:54 AMNeither is any great surprise and both are deserving picks.
Penn State long snapper Tyler Duzansky is a third-team All-Big Ten pick of the media

Indiana coach Curt Cignetti is the unanimous Big Ten coach of the year
12/03/2024 11:29:58 AMThe least surprising news of the day. He turned the Hoosiers around and into an 11-1 team that is on the cusp of a College Football Playoff appearance.
More Penn State defenders make All-Big Ten teams
12/03/2024 11:27:16 AMLions linebacker Kobe King is a unanimous second-team choice, as is safety Jaylen Reed. Cornerback AJ Harris is a unanimous third-team selection. It is certainly quite incredible that Penn State defensive tackle Zane Durant did not make one of the first three teams. But, he should surely find himself on the honorable mention list.
Iowa linebacker Jay Higgins is the Big Ten linebacker of the year, and Ohio State safety Caleb Downs is the Big Ten defensive back of the year
12/03/2024 11:23:20 AMBoth were just announced on BTN. Indiana DL Mikail Kamara is a unanimous first-team All-Big Ten selection, as well. Same for Minnesota DB Koi Perich.

Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith is the Big Ten receiver and freshmen of the year
12/03/2024 11:08:44 AMCertainly no surprise there. He is the first to pull off that daily double since Purdue’s Rondale Moore did.
They’re off and running on BTN
