Thursday afternoon, independent national football analyst and sportswriter Phil Steele issued his annual post-season honors and several Spartans made the cut for his All-Big Ten teams on both offense and defense.
On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Antjuan Simmons and cornerback Shakur Brown both were selected to Steele’s All-Big Ten second team. On offense, wide receiver Jalen Nailor was selected to Steele’s All-Big Ten third team.
For Simmons and Brown, this honor adds to a growing list for both players. Both Simmons and Brown had previous been selected to the All-Big Ten teams by the Big Ten coaches and media as well as the Associated Press.
