Thirteen USC Trojans earn All-Big Ten Conference Honors
Punter Eddie Czaplicki led 13 USC Trojans who earned All-Big Ten conference honors this season, the conference announced today.
Czaplicki was named to the First Team and named the Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year following an outstanding season in which he’s also been named one of three finalists for the Ray Guy Award. Czaplicki was USC’s only first-team selection this year.
Running back Woody Marks and offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon were both named to the Second Team. Marks was outstanding in rushing for 1,133 yards in his only year with the Trojans after coming over from Mississippi State. Pregnon starred in his second year with the Trojans, showing marked improvement at his left guard spot and earning an invite to the East-West Shrine Game this year.
Center Jonah Monheim, cornerback Jaylin Smith, kick returner Makai Lemon and long snapper Hank Pepper were all named to the third team.
