All-Big Ten preseason football team, selected by USA TODAY Sports Network

Four new teams and a transfer portal in overdrive provided the Big Ten with an infusion of new talent.

The USA TODAY Sports Network’s preseason Player of the Year has never played a snap in the league. Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel was a unanimous choice for Player of the Year, and Ohio State’s Ryan Day edged Oregon’s Dan Lanning for our Coach of the Year pick ahead of this week’s Big Ten media days in Indianapolis.

Gabriel was one of two unanimous picks to the All-Big Ten team, with Ohio State WR Emeka Ogbuka also appearing on all 14 ballots. Ohio State OL Donovan Jackson, Michigan DB Will Johnson, Iowa LB Jay Higgins, Michigan DL Mason Graham, Michigan State P Ryan Eckley and Minnesota K Dragan Kesich were near-unanimous picks, appearing on 13 of 14 ballots.

Here is the rest of the 2024 preseason All-Big Ten team as determined by 14 beat writers who cover the league for USA TODAY Sports Network.
