Hickman over Sainristil? Hogwash.
November 29th, 2022 at 5:41 PM ^
Mikey doesn't win awards, he makes plays.
November 29th, 2022 at 6:29 PM ^
I guess Mikey will have to come back for another year!
November 29th, 2022 at 4:25 PM ^
No sanistril or rod Moore?
November 29th, 2022 at 7:08 PM ^
Sainristil deserved it more than DJ Turner, IMHO. Nothing against DJ but Mike was just awesome.
November 29th, 2022 at 4:27 PM ^
OSU knows all too well that Sanristil is the guy that will haunt their dreams for eternity.
November 29th, 2022 at 4:28 PM ^
HM - Sainristil and RMoore and Paige and Gemon Green
The full list has been posted a few times today already.
November 29th, 2022 at 4:35 PM ^
NO KRIS JENKINS?!
November 29th, 2022 at 5:36 PM ^
Egregious!
November 29th, 2022 at 6:50 PM ^
That's the one that stands out the me. I love Mazi and he's great, but Jenkins arguably had a bigger impact game to game. To not even get HM is crazy.....guess he needs to come back.
November 29th, 2022 at 4:36 PM ^
I don't have any real complaints...this is the NO STAR defense, after all.
November 29th, 2022 at 4:40 PM ^
Fair enough
November 29th, 2022 at 4:39 PM ^
Sanristil was solid with a big performance against OSU, I was more surprised about Rod Moore not being 2nd or 3rd team!
November 29th, 2022 at 4:41 PM ^
Will we have an All-American this year? Corum or Olu?
November 29th, 2022 at 4:49 PM ^
Both.
November 29th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
Both.
November 29th, 2022 at 4:41 PM ^
Mason Graham will have none of this disrespect
November 29th, 2022 at 4:44 PM ^
Don't see any Buckeye defensive backs on these lists. Checks out . . .
November 29th, 2022 at 4:46 PM ^
Except Ronnie Hickman...over both Sainristil and Moore...and even Paige. It's sacrilege.
November 29th, 2022 at 4:47 PM ^
I counted the number of guys coming back next year on defense, just wow, we're going to destroy opposing offenses and it's going to be fun to watch!
Moore, Rod and Derek
Graham
Grant
Colson
Nikai
W. Johnson
McGregor
Okie
Benny
Rolder
I know I'm missing some too.
November 29th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
Yeah, you missed a huge one. Jaylen Harrell.

WATCHLIST:
Guys who have a decision to make (whether that be NFL or transfer portal).
*This is not a projection for anyone except McNamara, Corum, Bell, Smith, and Morris - those are the only "locks", IMO. Schoonmaker and Upshaw would be next (Turner and Johnson would have been but they have both struggled at times), but you never know. Everyone else will just be someone I keep an eye on. Due to COVID, there are a few free 5th and 6th years. I've got Keegan, Zinter, Barrett and Sainristil already determined as coming back.*

Congrats, Big Mike!
Get well soon, we need you!
Congrats, even Bigger Mazi!
You are the Man!
November 29th, 2022 at 4:55 PM ^
It's a plot to get him back for one more year. Sainristil that is.
November 29th, 2022 at 5:17 PM ^
The media didn't pick one M DB or LB on any of the three teams? I guess they were all playing golf Saturday afternoon.
November 29th, 2022 at 6:35 PM ^
Those graphics are a bit misleading. They only show the highest team that an individual made between Coaches & Media.
Colson and Turner were 2nd-team coaches and 3rd-team Media. They only show up on the 2nd-team graphic though.
November 29th, 2022 at 5:36 PM ^
Who's jock is Tommy Eichenberg on?! Not sure what he was responsible for on any of M's big plays, but he seemed average at best. Sure he hustles, but so does every Wisco LB... checks list... nevermind, people watch different football than me I guess.
November 29th, 2022 at 5:38 PM ^
Barret making it over windmon is chefs kiss, kris Jenkins should be there along with rod Moore.
November 29th, 2022 at 5:56 PM ^
Not a single boilermaker on the list.
Frickin haladay second team 🤔
Oh, he doesn't wear gloves.....
November 29th, 2022 at 5:57 PM ^
No one from Purdue on any off those lists. Hopefully that opinion continues for at least one more week.
November 29th, 2022 at 5:57 PM ^
Mike Sainristill belongs on this list. Been ballin all season.
November 29th, 2022 at 6:01 PM ^
The lack of OSU players is interesting and makes sense given we've hung 42 and 45 on them. This isn't all on Knowles. He didn't recruit these guys. Wondering if the emphasis on offense and more 5 star WRs has gnawed away on other positions. That 2019 team with Chase Young and okudah had far better talent than I've seen these past two years. It's more than just schemes.
Yes, I'll take our no-star D (ala 1972 Dolphins no-name D).
November 29th, 2022 at 6:04 PM ^
I dont see any Purdue players - the offense is going to eat this saturday!
November 29th, 2022 at 6:20 PM ^
Every year the league gets this wrong. They want “everyone” to have representation. It’s sad but the players and coaches know who’s the best. Moving on.
November 29th, 2022 at 6:26 PM ^
Seriously I haven’t seen a non-D-line Michigan player make as many plays as Sainristil since I don’t know when. Dude was everywhere this year.
November 29th, 2022 at 7:30 PM ^
Sorry, but Colson should be honorable mention. His second team spot should be Sainristil.
