Michigan junior linebacker Devin Bush Jr. was voted Big Ten’s defensive player of the year and also the league’s linebacker of the year in results announced Tuesday night

Meanwhile, Michigan State defensive end Kenny Willekes was named Big Ten defensive lineman of the year after the former walk-on finished the regular season leading the conference with 20.5 tackles for loss while recording 8.5 sacks.

Willekes is the first Spartan to win the award since Shilique Calhoun in 2013. 

Five Wolverines were voted All-Big Ten first-team defense, announced Tuesday night on the Big Ten Network. Defensive ends Chase Winovich and Rashan Gary, cornerbacks Lavert Hill and David Long and Bush were all first-team selections from Michigan’s top ranked defense.

Winovich, Hill and Bush were selected first team by both coaches and media.

Michigan’s Will Hart was named the Big Ten’s punter of the year.

Michigan finished the regular season 10-2, 8-1 Big Ten but a 62-39 loss to Ohio State in the season finale kept the Wolverines’ from their Big Ten title and College Football Playoff hopes.

The Wolverines will find out their bowl destination Sunday, as will the Spartans.

Bush was asked by BTN host Mike Hall if he will play in Michigan’s bowl.

“I still have some things I gotta talk to my coaches about, my family, but I’m definitely going to play in that bowl game,” Bush said.

Gary announced Monday he will forego his final season of eligibility to pursue the NFL. Bush was asked if his teammate’s decision will affect his timeline. Bush, considered a first-round NFL selection, said last week on BTN that he planned to have a decision about his future by the end of December or early January.

“Not at all,” Bush said. “Rashan has a life of his own and Rashan makes decisions for what Rashan wants to do. I’m so proud to call that guy my brother.”

Bush suffered a hip pointer and missed most of the second half of the Ohio State. He said his hip is swollen and he is going through rehab. He said he will be fine.

Also Tuesday, Willekes was named as unanimous picks to the All-Big Ten first-team defense, while junior linebacker Joe Bachie was first-team by the coaches. Both earned third-team honors last season.

Bachie led Michigan State (7-5) and ranked 10th in Big Ten with 94 tackles. The team captain has 8.5 tackles for loss, five pass break-ups, three forced fumbles, one interception and one fumble recovery.

Sophomore placekicker Matt Coghlin was a first-team honoree by the media. A Lou Groza Award semifinalist, Coghlin ranks among Big Ten leaders in field goals made (third with 16) and field-goal percentage (third at .842).

He has made 16 of his 19 field-goal attempts this season.

The Big Ten offensive teams will be announced Wednesday.
