Both Foreman and Worthy were selected by the media and coaches, whereas Robinson earned media honors and Adams earned the honor from the coaches.

Senior wide receiver B.J. Cunningham, who had seven 100-yard receiving games and was expected to be among the first teamers, was selected to the Second Team, along with senior quarterback Kirk Cousins and senior tight end Brian Linthicum (coaches only).

For the Second Team defense, sophomore defensive end William Gholston and sophomore safety Isaiah Lewis made both lists. Sophomore linebacker Denicos Allen and Adams made the media’s list and sophomore linebacker Max Bullough appeared on the coaches.

Including Honorable Mention picks, the entire Spartans starting defense earned conference honors.
