Devin Bush Jr. named B1G Defensive Player of the Year
November 27th, 2018 at 5:42 PM ^
We also placed FIVE players on the first-team all-B1G defense
Bush, Gary, Winovich, Long, Hill
Also, Will Hart is B1G Punter of the Year...perhaps our best at the position since Zoltan Mesko.
November 27th, 2018 at 8:28 PM ^
Really makes you wonder, how does a team with FIVE 1st team All-Conf defenders get toasted for 62pts against their biggest rival, with a Conf Championship on the line? ?
November 27th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
A coach’s unsound response to a scheme getting exploited.
November 27th, 2018 at 9:53 PM ^
Because Watson and Gil were not on that list.
to be honest I know Gary was solid, but did not stand out to me to make the big ten list. I would almost give it to uche over Gary.
Congrats Bush!!!!!! You are a stud and the attitude towards MSU was amazing!!!!!!
November 27th, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
Because these accolades are normally more of a popularity contest and/or because not a lot of good offenses were played outside of OSU.
November 28th, 2018 at 9:40 AM ^
Agree with all 3 above points lol
November 27th, 2018 at 5:44 PM ^
Now this is a trophy I can get behind. Congratulations, Mr. Bush! A great honor well-deserved.
November 27th, 2018 at 5:45 PM ^
Congrats Devin! Deserving of this award and more. Has been amazing to watch you in blue these past few seasons. An elite defensive "quarterback" talent with a nose for sound tackling and amazing sideline to sideline speed.
November 27th, 2018 at 5:47 PM ^
The best Bush any of us will ever see.
November 27th, 2018 at 5:53 PM ^
Gimme a link. I'm too lazy to google.
November 27th, 2018 at 5:58 PM ^
Congratulations!
Well deserved.
November 27th, 2018 at 5:59 PM ^
Bring on the "bull clawing" of the Sparty logo!
BRAVO Mr Bush Jr!
November 27th, 2018 at 6:02 PM ^
That's awesome. Also, having 5 players on the conference first team D is really amazing.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:08 PM ^
Congrats, Devin! Happy news has been in short supply since the weekend.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:09 PM ^
Someone who has been blessed with points might want to make a separate post but Will Hart is the B1G Punter of the Year!
November 27th, 2018 at 6:10 PM ^
He also said in BTN that he’s planning on playing in the bowl game.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
That’s an interesting way of announcing you are going pro
November 27th, 2018 at 6:41 PM ^
So he’s going to declare?
November 27th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
He says he plans on playing in the bowl game
He, also, says that he still has to talk about his future with his family
aka he isn't ready to announce one or the other on the NFL. I read a little into that and he could still change his mind about the bowl game. At least, that is the way I read it.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:15 PM ^
That is a great accomplishment - and well deserved!
November 27th, 2018 at 6:26 PM ^
Well deserved award. Kid plays his heart out every play when he could take plays off and still be very good just due to his talent.
I know injuries are almost always mysteries during the season, but I was wondering if there has been any word about his situation since the regular season is over.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
Congrats Devin and congrats to the others. Damn I hope Bush, Long and Hill don't go pro. Do the right thing you three...jk, the defense will be fine without you. Just not as good(sheds tear with face in hands).
November 27th, 2018 at 6:35 PM ^
Congrats Devin for sure.
I'm reminded of the day he committed.
My older brother is a huge FSU fan, got his degree there and is friends with some boosters there. The day Bush committed, he told me that they didn't even want him because he was too small. He implied that they stopped recruiting him and that's why he fell to UM. I told him he was full of shit and Bush looks legit. Going to text him now and rub it in.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:37 PM ^
He’s going to be hard to replace. Does anyone know his recruiting ranking? I don’t recall him being a super high level recruit.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
Looks like he was a low 4-star in the composite just outside the Top 300. Blew that out of the water. Going to be a first rounder hopefully.

November 27th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
Definitely. He was one of the very few Michigan players who would have started over his OSU counterpart last week.
The scouts wiffed on that one.
November 27th, 2018 at 9:57 PM ^
Very hard to replace. Hopefully Solomon and Ross can fill the void a bit.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Rightly so on all counts. HAIL!
November 27th, 2018 at 6:48 PM ^
Wait so people we whining about the Division Title Trophy, but are excited about this?
Throw this piece of shit trophy in the shredder with that other or wait this one is so cool despite the fact nothing meaningful was won.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:53 PM ^
Fuck off asshole.
November 27th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
I think you have anger problems.
November 27th, 2018 at 7:56 PM ^
I think you have logic problems.
How the hell did you get into Michigan with your verbal score so low?!
November 27th, 2018 at 6:46 PM ^
Giving up the most points ever to tPOSu means you do not qualify for any awards.
November 27th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
And osu doesn’t deserve to go to the championship game because they lost to a horrible Purdue team by 29 fucking points. According to your dumbass logic no one deserves anything unless they have a perfect season. Get the fuck out of here troll.
November 27th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
Guess I touched a nerve you soccer mom everyone gets the same sized trophy assclown.
November 27th, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
You qualify and it matters when you stomp the field at MSU and then hold them to under 100 yards. It does when you hold penn state to a late garbage td. It does when you are a captain and play like it.
Blaming Bush for the osu loss is like saying Larry Nassar is a great doctor!
November 27th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
Congratulations to a great representative of Michigan!
November 27th, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
Congratulations Devin! Very well deserved.
November 27th, 2018 at 7:57 PM ^
Well done Devin! A well deserved honor.
November 27th, 2018 at 8:33 PM ^
Excited for Devin, big fan of his. Hell of a year. I've noticed since watching his high school tape he makes the pads pop every time he hits someone. Will definitely follow his career wherever he lands in the draft.
November 27th, 2018 at 9:05 PM ^
Dude is an absolute beast. Much deserved awards. I still think hes a bit too short for the nfl and needs another year here to grow a couple inches.
November 27th, 2018 at 9:07 PM ^
Devin played like an animal out there against OSU. He was excellent until he went out with injury. If we had 11 Devin Bush's out there, we would have crushed that game. We were athletically deficient at a couple of key positions, but middle linebacker was not one of them.
November 27th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
Hot damn, well deserved.
November 27th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
B1G defensive POY is an incredible honor in a conference that (mostly*) emphasizes defense.
* lookin' at you OSU...dirtbags.
November 27th, 2018 at 9:36 PM ^
Congratulations Devin. Much deserved recognition for a baller and great linebacker.
November 27th, 2018 at 10:52 PM ^
Devin Bush, Jr. is my favorite Michigan football player of all time. If we end up in the Rose Bowl, GOTTA think he'll play.
November 27th, 2018 at 10:59 PM ^
Congrats Devin Bush, this honor is richly deserved!
