Penn State may now be 99 days out from the start of its 2023 season, but media outlets aren’t wasting any time regarding preseason recognition. Athlon Sports is the most recent to join this group, releasing not only a first-team All-Big Ten team but three additional teams to make it four total.
As most would expect, Ohio State leads the list with 20 players. Michigan is next with 17, followed by Penn State with 13 players earning all-conference honors. Those who earned first-team honors should be no surprise, with offensive lineman Olu Fashanu, defensive lineman Chop Robinson, linebacker Abdul Carter and cornerback Kalen King all earning first-team honors.

Quote of the Day
“We’ve got a chance to be better on the O-line, we’ve got a chance to be better at running back, we’ve got a chance to be better at tight end. We have a question mark at wide receiver. I saw some things this spring to get excited about but not ready to stamp ’em yet.”
– Penn State head coach James Franklin during an interview with J.D. PicKell
