Jake Butt Is the Only Wolverine to Make ESPN's 2015 All-Big Ten Preseason Team

1

Michigan tight end Jake Butt is the only Wolverine to land on ESPN's 2015 All-Big Ten preseason team, which was released on Monday morning. On an offense full of question marks, Butt is the one sure commodity that the Wolverines have, and, with Jim Harbaugh's penchant for developing tight ends and targeting them in his offense, Butt seems primed to have an outstanding season.

No other Michigan players made the team, and it's hard to disagree with that decision. Michigan has lots of solid defenders, but none that stand out as the best at their position in the Big Ten. My best bet as to a Wolverine not named Butt that will crack the All-Big Ten team at season's end is Jourdan Lewis, but I understand why he's not on the preseason team.

Ohio State led the way with eight selections, while Michigan State had four players make the team.
