ESPN unveils Freshman All-America team
ESPN has released its Freshman All-America team now that the 2017 regular season is in the rearview mirror.
Several no-brainers made the list, including Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm, Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor and Arizona linebacker Colin Schooler. But there were also a few surprise names that were named to the Freshman All-America team.
Five players from the B1G made ESPN’s team. Here are the stars from the conference that earned Freshman All-American honors from ESPN:
- Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin RB
- J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State AP
- Sam Miller, Northwestern DE
- Bennett Williams, Illinois S
- Josiah Scott, Michigan State CB
Taylor and Dobbins were easy selections, as they finished No. 1 and No. 2 in rushing yards among B1G running backs as freshmen. Bennett Williams and Josiah Scott were two of the better, young pass-defenders in the conference this season.
Sam Miller was a force on the defensive line for the Wildcats all season.
