“Jack Allen is a two-time All-American, who possesses a tremendous amount of experience and his leadership level is often unmatched,” MSU head coach Mark Dantonio said in a Spartan Athletics press release.

Conklin was named first team by USA Today, second team by Walter camp and honorable mention by SI.com. Conklin tallied 65.5 knockdowns despite missing two games this season due to injury.

“Jack Conklin is a gifted athlete, who embodies all of the qualities of the ideal left tackle,” Dantonio said. “He’s an intelligent player, who runs extremely well for his size. Jack has been an impact player in our starting lineup for the last three years, and his toughness permeates the entire offensive line.”

Calhoun was named second team by CBS Sports and Walter Camp and honorable mention by SI.com. Calhoun is the only defensive lineman in school history to have been named first-team All-Big Ten in three different years.

“Shilique Calhoun continues to be a dominant, disruptive force on the defensive line,” Dantonio said.

“He has the flair for providing a spark when the team needs it, with tackles for losses, sacks and blocked field goals. Shilique is a veteran player with an extensive amount of knowledge of our entire defense, who plays with great effort and toughness. He’s an impact player and his teammates continue to feed off his energy.”
