CBS DETROIT - Michigan State players raked in Big Ten honors Monday, with wide receiver Tony Lippett, offensive lineman Jack Allen, defensive lineman Shilique Calhoun and defensive backs Kurtis Drummond and Trae Waynes all selected by conference coaches to the All-Big Ten first team.

Michigan linebacker Jake Ryan also made the first team, the only Wolverine to do so, and his teammate Brian Griese won the Dungy-Thompson Humanitarian Award.
Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook, linebacker Taiwan Jones and offensive linemen Travis Jackson and Jack Conklin made the second team, and so did Michigan wide receiver Devin Funchess.
