All-Big Ten Defense & Special Teams Announced
Penn State placed 3 players on the 2025 All-Big Ten teams for Defense & Special Teams. All 3 were named to the 3rd Team in voting by the Coaches and Media. Dani Dennis-Sutton DE heads the group making the 3rd Team of both the Coaches and the Media. Amare Campbell LB was 3rd Team (Media) & Honorable Mention (Coaches) while Gabe Nwosu P was named 3rd Team (Coaches) & Honorable Mention (Media).
Eight others were named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten (both Coaches & Media selection unless noted): Zane Durant DT, AJ Harris, CB, Zakee Wheatley S, King Mack S, Ryan Barker PK, Nick Singleton (as kick returner), Audavion Collins CB (Media-only), and Tyler Duzansky LS (Media-only). Oddly, Duzansky who was 3rd Team (Media) in 2024 was generally ignored despite being one of three finalists for the Mannelly Award as the nation’s best long snapper. Also, Singleton was Honorable Mention (Special Teams) as a kick returner despite having only 7 returns in 2025 (4 in one game-Rutgers) although he did have a return average of 20.7 yards this season.
