Badgers’ Loudermilk, Sanborn and Williams named to All-Big Ten third team

Wisconsin’s defense was once again well-represented on the All-Big Ten teams and that stayed the same on Wednesday.

The Badgers had two players selected to the offensive first team and now have three named to the defensive third team.

Senior defensive end Isaiahh Loudermilk and junior linebacker Jack Sanborn were both selected to the third-team All-Big Ten team by the media. Loudermilk has 11 tackles and two sacks so far and Sanborn has recorded 36 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and one forced fumble in five games.

Senior defensive back Caesar Williams was named third-team All-Big Ten team by the coaches. He has six tackles (one for loss) and two pass breakups this season.

The conference’s special teams awards will be revealed Thursday.

Wisconsin plays Minnesota on Saturday at 3 p.m. during the Big Ten’s “championship week.”
