Michigan's Devin Bush named AP’s Big Ten top player on defense

Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. is the offensive player of the year and Michigan linebacker Devin Bush is defensive player of the year on The Associated Press All-Big Ten Conference team released Wednesday.

Freshman receiver Rondale Moore of Purdue was voted newcomer of the year, and Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald was named coach of the year after leading the Wildcats to the Big Ten championship game for the first time.

Michigan had seven players on the first team, including four from the nation’s top-ranked defense. Bush was joined by senior defensive end Chase Winovich, junior cornerback Lavert Hill, and junior safety Josh Metellus from that defense.
