The Big Ten Conference announced the 2017 All-Big Ten football honorees on offense on Wednesday. A total of 34 students were selected to either of the All-Big Ten teams picked by the coaches and media, while another 41 students were awarded honorable mention status.
The Big Ten postseason awards are voted on by conference coaches and a select media panel and honors teams, coaches and students with individual awards that each bear the names of one or two former standouts. The Dungy-Thompson Humanitarian and Ford-Kinnick Leadership awards were announced last week.
The All-Big Ten teams and individual awards are being announced based on the following schedule:
- Tuesday, November 28: All-Big Ten teams (Defense and Special Teams) and Big Ten Sportsmanship Award Honorees
