Lewis, Chesson, Peppers named B1G Players of the Week

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

A trio of B1G weekly awards this week.

Jabrill Peppers was named B1G Freshman of the Week, Michigan's 3rd ever.

Jourdan Lewis was named B1G Defensive Player of the Week, the first Michigan defensive back to receive this honor since Leon Hall in 2005.

Jehu Chesson was named B1G Special Teams Player of the Week, the first non-kicker Wolverine to receive the honor since Darryl Stonum in 2009 after he returned a kickoff against Notre Dame for a TD.

When is the last time we figured that heavily in the B1G Player Of The Week honors? It has to be a while, but I could be wrong. Either way, it is fun to see a few Wolverines get rewarded for some fantastic performances. 

Hopefully, we get to see such honors a couple more times this season.

Another cool nugget in that story:

Michigan leads the nation with 39.0 yards per kickoff return.

Baxter is the man.  We are awesome at everything in special teams.  Our kicker has made 7-9, our punter routinely pins them inside the 10, our coverage units are phenomenal and we're a threat to take it to the house on both punts and kickoffs.
