Big Ten 2023 Preseason All-Conference Football Teams
by Steven Lassan, Athlon Sports
The 2023 All-Big Ten team is led by 37 combined selections from Ohio State and Michigan, while Penn State (13), Cockeye (12) and Illinois (11) each place double-digit totals on the all-conference squad.
An important note on the all-conference teams: These are based on how players will perform in 2023. Career statistics and awards matter in the evaluation, but choosing players for the 2023 all-conference team is largely based on predicting and projecting the best for the upcoming year. Also, team strength does not play a role in selections. These are the best individual players at each position in the league for '23.
