White, Carimi lead Big Ten honors for Badgers

Five Badgers earned first team  All- Big Ten honors, among 18 players honored by the conference Monday evening overall.

Senior offensive linemen John Moffitt and Gabe Carimi, senior tight end Lance Kendricks and junior defensive end J.J. Watt earned consensus first team All-Big Ten honors while junior cornerback Antonio Fenelus was named to the first team by the media and was an honorable mention by the coaches.

Carimi was named Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year in addition to his All-Conference honors. The Cottage Grove, Wis., native is also one of three finalists for the Outland Trophy, given to the top offensive lineman in the country each year.

Carimi and Kendricks also earned spots on the American Football Coaches Association All-America team, becoming the first Badger teammates to make the team since 1999.

In addition to the all-conference awards, UW freshman running back James White won consensus Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors. The Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., native led the Badgers with 1,029 yards and finished second on the team with 14 touchdowns. White is Wisconsin's second consecutive Freshman of the Year, as linebacker Chris Borland took home the award a year ago. Wisconsin is the first school in conference history to boast back-to-back consensus Freshman of the Year honorees.

Junior running back John Clay (consensus), senior quarterback Scott Tolzien (coaches) and junior free safety Aaron Henry (coaches) earned second team honors.
